FMIBuild.jl

What is FMIBuild.jl?

FMIBuild.jl holds dependencies that are required to compile and zip a Functional Mock-Up Unit (FMU) compliant to the FMI-standard (fmi-standard.org). Because this dependencies should not be part of the compiled FMU, they are out-sourced into this package. FMIBuild.jl provides the build-commands for the Julia package FMIExport.jl.

How can I use FMIBuild.jl?

Please note: FMIBuild.jl is not meant to be used as it is, but as part of FMI.jl and FMIExport.jl. However you can install FMIBuild.jl by following these steps.

1. Open a Julia-REPL, switch to package mode using ], activate your preferred environment.

2. Install FMIBuild.jl:

(@v1.x) pkg> add FMIBuild

(3). If you want to check that everything works correctly, you can run the tests bundled with FMIBuild.jl:

(@v1.x) pkg> test FMIBuild

What FMI.jl-Library should I use?

To keep dependencies nice and clean, the original package FMI.jl had been split into new packages:

• FMI.jl: High level loading, manipulating, saving or building entire FMUs from scratch
• FMIImport.jl: Importing FMUs into Julia
• FMIExport.jl: Exporting stand-alone FMUs from Julia Code
• FMIBase.jl: Common concepts for import and export of FMUs
• FMICore.jl: C-code wrapper for the FMI-standard
• FMISensitivity.jl: Static and dynamic sensitivities over FMUs
• FMIBuild.jl: Compiler/Compilation dependencies for FMIExport.jl
• FMIFlux.jl: Machine Learning with FMUs
• FMIZoo.jl: A collection of testing and example FMUs

What Platforms are supported?

FMIBuild.jl is tested (and testing) under Julia Versions 1.6 LTS and latest on Windows latest and Ubuntu latest. x64 architectures are tested. Mac and x86-architectures might work, but are not tested.
