If merged this pull request will create an example for how HELICS can use FMI/FMUs as federates using HELIC-FMI
Proposed changes
Duplicate the fundamental default example but with an FMU replacing the Battery Federate.
Show how helics-fmi can be called
Notes
FMUs are compiled for a specific platform.
The FMU included with the code (SimpleBattery.fmu) was compiled on a Windows machine and may (likely) not work on Mac or Linux.
Partially for this reason the OpenModelica version of the model (SimpleBattery.mo) is also included.
With the free and open-source OpenModelica Connection Editor, it should be possible to open the modelica file, compile for a different operating system, and replace the fmu so that the example could still be run.
