Executable and other tools to allow Functional Mockup units to interact with HELICS. Currently FMI 2.0 is supported.
HELICS-FMI uses cmake for build system generation. It requires HELICS 3.3 or greater to operate.
For building with Visual Studio the cmake-gui is recommended. Set the build directory to an empty path, for example HELICS-FMI/build, and the source directory to the HELICS-FMI directory. HELICS-FMI will attempt to locate an existing HELICS installation and use those files. If one does not exist HELICS will automatically download and build it.
The process is the same as for Windows, with the exception that HELICS will not automatically build unless the AUTOBUILD_HELICS option is enabled.
helics-fmi is the main program it work similarly to other federates in HELICS. +
$ helics-fmi feedthrough.fmu$ helics-fmi --autobroker --step=0.1 --stop=4.0 feedthrough.fmuWill start up a broker as well as the fmu. The step and stop time can be specified.
additional broker args can be added through --brokerargs option.
