Hello,

I would like to export an activate model to fmu with c source code.

I already done this in matlab/ simulink with the command: exportToFMU2CS('mdlName','SaveSourceCodeToFMU','on')

How could I do this in activate?

 

Thank you for your help!

    Hi Yannik,

    Is there any specific reason why you're using code instead of the interface to export the FMU model?

    There is a very easy way to export an FMU model on Activate's interface:

    1) Create a Superblock of your C block:

    2) Export the FMU as Model exchange:

    3) Import that model using FMU block:

    4) Manipulate the input port and Run:

    I attached the models (SCM + FMU), please see if it works for your purposes!

    Thanks, João.

    Hi João,

    thank you for your help! Unfortunately your solution don't solve my Problem.

    I need the C header and C sources, wich describe the fmu. They are in the folder "sources" in the ZIP file. How could I export the fmu with this optional directory?

     

    The following is from the FMI Specification 2.0.3:

    Hi Yannik,

    Did you try to change the extension of your .FMU to .ZIP and access the files inside it?

    That makes no difference. The exported Simulink fmu is .fmu and i could access the files inside. And in the simulink export .fmu is the "sources" folder.

    Hi Yannik,

    If you really want the C source code in the FMU, you have 02 options:

    1. Select the SuperBlock that you want to export, and write in the Activate Prompt Command: vssPProjExportToFMU(struct('fmufile','E:\myfmufilename.fmu')); 
    • Note that you must have installed visual studio build tools. 
  • There is a (beta) version of C code generation on Activate:

    • image

    Note that (1) will export the FMU exactly as you want, but there are some blocks in Activate that aren't supported to be exported yet.

    Thanks, João.
