OMEdit is a versatile tool for SSP-based modeling and simulation. It provides a graphical interface for simulating FMUs. Below is a step-by-step guide to simulating an FMU in OMEdit, accompanied by some screenshots.

  1. Create a New SSP Model

  • Navigate to File → New → SSP Model.

 
  1. Name the Model

  • Assign a meaningful name to your new SSP model.
  • Select the root system type
    • Weakly coupled for co-simulation fmu's
    • Strongly Coupled for model-exchange fmu's
    • TLM for Transmission Line Modelling


  1. Add the FMU as a Submodel

  • Go to SSP → Add SubModel to import the FMU into your SSP model.

    4. Inspect and Modify the FMU
  • Double-click the FMU to inspect its properties and adjust parameters as needed.

  1. Simulate the Model

  • Use the menu item Simulation → Simulate to run the simulation. Once the simulation starts, OMEdit switches to the Plotting view, where results can be directly visualized.
