How to Create, Build, and Run a New FMI4cpp File

[Number-One-Intern]

Hello again, I am still very new to cmake. I have no issues running and the building the base FMI4cpp folder itself or the examples within. And I have a general understanding of how to write code to use and import FMU's. But I lack the knowledge how to specifically build and run a new file. Say for example, I wanted to write a new .cpp that runs a motor FMU. I have written a basic file that should compile with no errors. But I am currently stuck at trying to build and run it specifically via FMI4cpp. What would be the cmake commands to do so or what would the process of how to do that be? (Also I'm sure I missed this somewhere but what would be the syntax for setting an FMU input in FMI4cpp?"

This is a very open question not specific to FMI4cpp. You have some options:

• Copy source to your own project
• Use Git submodules + add_subdirectory
• Use CMake FetchContent
• Manually build and tell CMake about the shared library and include folder
• Package the repo using conan and upload to cloud service
• Package the repo using vcpkg with custom remote

I'm not able to dwelve much deeper into this as it is a general C/C++ question.

syntax for setting an FMU input

You have read_XXX for reading and write_XXX for writing that takes either a single scalar or a vector of values.
