Our research focus on:
Co-simulation is a methodology that allows different simulation tools to collaborate in modeling coupled systems, preserving the intellectual property boundaries of each component. It enables the integration of heterogeneous simulation environments, which is crucial for predicting the behavior of complex systems without exposing the internal workings of each part.
The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a standardized interface that enables the integration and exchange of dynamic models across different simulation tools. It was developed to facilitate collaboration between various modeling environments by providing a common framework for model coupling, simulation, and analysis. FMI defines a standardized way to package models as Functional Mockup Units (FMUs), which can then be imported and executed by compatible simulation tools.
The Co-Simulation Research Group leverages the FMI standard to integrate various simulation environments, enhancing interoperability and scalability. This approach facilitates the development of complex cyber-physical systems, enabling accurate modeling and simulation without exposing the internal details of each component.
