The FMI project is focusing its effort to produce the next version of the FMI standard 2.1. During the previous FMI Design meeting in Munich (November 2017) a (preliminary) list of FMI Change Proposals (FCPs) was approved. The next meeting in April 2018 will focus on organising compatibility between the different FCPs and prototype implementations.

Current Alpha Feature List

• Ports and Icons: Help the user to build consistent systems from FMUs and render the systems more intuitively with better representation of structured ports (for instance busses and physical connectors) in the modelDescription.xml.
• Array variables: Allow FMUs to communicate multi-dimensional variables and change their sizes using structural parameters.
• Clocks and Hybrid Co-Simulation: Introduces clocks for synchronization of variables changes across FMUs. Allows co-simulation with events.
• Binary Data Type: Adds an opaque binary data type to FMU variables to allow, for instance, efficiently exchanging of complex sensor data.
• Intermediate Output Values: Allow access of intermediate output values between communication time points from the FMU to disclose relevant subsystem behavior for analysis or advanced co-simulation master algorithms.
• Source code FMUs: Adding more information to the modelDescription.xml file to improve automatic import of source code FMUs.
