OMSimulator

Version: v2.0.0.post480-gaf996ad

Introduction

The OMSimulator project is a FMI-based co-simulation tool that supports ordinary (i.e., non-delayed) and TLM connections. It supports large-scale simulation and virtual prototyping using models from multiple sources utilizing the FMI standard. It is integrated into OpenModelica but also available stand-alone, i.e., without dependencies to Modelica specific models or technology. OMSimulator provides an industrial-strength open-source FMI-based modelling and simulation tool. Input/output ports of FMUs can be connected, ports can be grouped to buses, FMUs can be parameterized and composed, and composite models can be exported according to the (preliminary) SSP (System Structure and Parameterization) standard. Efficient FMI based simulation is provided for both model-exchange and co-simulation. TLM-based tool connection is provided for a range of applications, e.g., Adams, Simulink, Beast, Dymola, and OpenModelica. Moreover, optional TLM (Transmission Line Modelling) domain-specific connectors are also supported, providing additional numerical stability to co-simulation. An external API is available for use from other tools and scripting languages such as Python and Lua.

OMSimulator

OMSimulator is a command line wrapper for the OMSimulatorLib library.

OMSimulatorLib

This library is the core of OMSimulator and provides a C interface that can easily be utilized to handle co-simulation scenarios.

RunFile

Simulates a single FMU or SSP model.

oms_status_enu_t oms_RunFile(const char* filename);

activateVariant

This API provides support to activate a multi-variant modelling from an ssp file [(e.g). SystemStructure.ssd, VarA.ssd, VarB.ssd ] from a ssp file. By default when importing a ssp file the default variant will be "SystemStructure.ssd". The users can be able to switch between other variants by using this API and make changes to that particular variant and simulate them.

oms_status_enu_t oms_activateVariant(const char* crefA, const char* crefB);

An example of activating the number of available variants in a ssp file

oms_newModel("model") oms_addSystem("model.root", "system_wc") oms_addSubModel("model.root.A", "A.fmu") oms_duplicateVariant("model", "varA") // varA will be the current variant oms_duplicateVariant("varA", "varB") // varB will be the current variant oms_activateVariant("varB", "varA") // Reactivate the variant varB to varA oms_activateVariant("varA", "model") // Reactivate the variant varA to model

addBus

Adds a bus to a given component.

oms_status_enu_t oms_addBus(const char* cref);

Adds an external model to a TLM system.

oms_status_enu_t oms_addExternalModel(const char* cref, const char* path, const char* startscript);

addResources

oms_status_enu_t oms_addResources(const char* cref_, const char* path)

addSignalsToResults

Add all variables that match the given regex to the result file.

oms_status_enu_t oms_addSignalsToResults(const char* cref, const char* regex);

The second argument, i.e. regex, is considered as a regular expression (C++11). ".*" and "(.)*" can be used to hit all variables.

addSubModel

Adds a component to a system.

oms_status_enu_t oms_addSubModel(const char* cref, const char* fmuPath);

addSystem

Adds a (sub-)system to a model or system.

oms_status_enu_t oms_addTLMBus(const char* cref, oms_tlm_domain_t domain, const int dimensions, const oms_tlm_interpolation_t interpolation);

addTLMConnection

Connects two TLM connectors.

oms_status_enu_t oms_addTLMConnection(const char* crefA, const char* crefB, double delay, double alpha, double linearimpedance, double angularimpedance);

compareSimulationResults

This function compares a given signal of two result files within absolute and relative tolerances.

int oms_compareSimulationResults(const char* filenameA, const char* filenameB, const char* var, double relTol, double absTol);

The following table describes the input values:

Input	Type	Description
filenameA	String	Name of first result file to compare.
filenameB	String	Name of second result file to compare.
var	String	Name of signal to compare.
relTol	Number	Relative tolerance.
absTol	Number	Absolute tolerance.

The following table describes the return values:

Type	Description
Integer	1 if the signal is considered as equal, 0 otherwise

oms_status_enu_t oms_delete(const char* cref);

deleteConnection

Deletes the connection between connectors crefA and crefB.

oms_status_enu_t oms_deleteConnection(const char* crefA, const char* crefB);

The two arguments crefA and crefB get swapped automatically if necessary.

deleteConnectorFromBus

Deletes a connector from a given bus.

oms_status_enu_t oms_deleteConnectorFromBus(const char* busCref, const char* connectorCref);

deleteConnectorFromTLMBus

Deletes a connector from a given TLM bus.

oms_status_enu_t oms_deleteConnectorFromTLMBus(const char* busCref, const char* connectorCref);

deleteResources

Deletes the reference and resource file in a SSP. Deletion of ".ssv" and ".ssm" files are currently supported. The API can be used in two ways.

1. deleting only the reference file in ".ssd".

2. deleting both reference and resource files in ".ssp".

To delete only the reference file in ssd, the user should provide the full qualified cref of the ".ssv" file associated with a system or subsystem or component (e.g) "model.root:root1.ssv".

To delete both the reference and resource file in ssp, it is enough to provide only the model cref of the ".ssv" file (e.g) "model:root1.ssv".

When deleting only the references of a ".ssv" file, if a parameter mapping file ".ssm" is binded to a ".ssv" file then the ".ssm" file will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the references of ".ssm" seperately as the ssm file is binded to a ssv file.

The filename of the reference or resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref. (e.g) ":root.ssv"

oms_status_enu_t oms_deleteResources(const char* cref);

doStep

Simulates a macro step of the given composite model. The step size will be determined by the master algorithm and is limited by the definied minimal and maximal step sizes.

oms_status_enu_t oms_doStep(const char* cref);

duplicateVariant

This API provides support to develop a multi-variant modelling in OMSimulator [(e.g). SystemStructure.ssd, VarA.ssd, VarB.ssd ]. When duplicating a variant, the new variant becomes the current variant and all the changes made by the users are applied to the new variants only, and all the ssv and ssm resources associated with the new variant will be given new name based on the variant name provided by the user. This allows the bundling of multiple variants of a system structure definition referencing a similar set of packaged resources as a single SSP. However there must still be one SSD file named SystemStructure.ssd at the root of the ZIP archive which will be considered as default variant.

oms_status_enu_t oms_duplicateVariant(const char* crefA, const char* crefB);

An example of creating a multi-variant modelling is presente below

oms_newModel("model") oms_addSystem("model.root", "system_wc") oms_addSubModel("model.root.A", "A.fmu") oms_setReal("model.root.A.param1", "10") oms_duplicateVariant("model", "varB") oms_addSubModel("varB.root.B" ,"B.fmu") oms_setReal("varB.root.A.param2", "20") oms_export("varB", "variant.ssp")

The variant.ssp file will have the following structure

Variant.ssp

SystemStructure.ssd varB.ssd resources

A.fmu B.fmu

export

Exports a composite model to a SPP file.

oms_status_enu_t oms_export(const char* cref, const char* filename);

exportDependencyGraphs

Export the dependency graphs of a given model to dot files.

oms_status_enu_t oms_exportDependencyGraphs(const char* cref, const char* initialization, const char* event, const char* simulation);

exportSSMTemplate

Exports all signals that have start values of one or multiple FMUs to a SSM file that are read from modelDescription.xml with a mapping entry. The mapping entry specifies a single mapping between a parameter in the source and a parameter of the system or component being parameterized. The mapping entry contains two attributes namely source and target. The source attribute will be empty and needs to be manually mapped by the users associated with the parameter name defined in the SSV file, the target contains the name of parameter in the system or component to be parameterized. The function can be called for a top level model or a certain FMU component. If called for a top level model, start values of all FMUs are exported to the SSM file. If called for a component, start values of just this FMU are exported to the SSM file.

oms_status_enu_t oms_exportSSMTemplate(const char* cref, const char* filename)

exportSSVTemplate

Exports all signals that have start values of one or multiple FMUs to a SSV file that are read from modelDescription.xml. The function can be called for a top level model or a certain FMU component.

<oms:variant name="model" /> <oms:variant name="varB" /> <oms:variant name="varA" />

</oms:Variants>

loadSnapshot

Loads a snapshot to restore a previous model state. The model must be in virgin model state, which means it must not be instantiated.

oms_status_enu_t oms_loadSnapshot(const char* cref, const char* snapshot, char** newCref);

newModel

Creates a new and yet empty composite model.

oms_status_enu_t oms_newModel(const char* cref);

newResources

Adds a new empty resources to the SSP. The resource file is a ".ssv" file where the parameter values set by the users using "oms_setReal()", "oms_setInteger()" and "oms_setReal()" are writtern to the file. Currently only ".ssv" files can be created.

The filename of the resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref. (e.g) ":root.ssv"

oms_status_enu_t oms_newResources(const char* cref)

referenceResources

Switches the references of ".ssv" and ".ssm" in a SSP file. Referencing of ".ssv" and ".ssm" files are currently supported. The API can be used in two ways.

1. Referencing only the ".ssv" file.

2. Referencing both the ".ssv" along with the ".ssm" file.

This API should be used in combination with "oms_deleteResources".To switch with a new reference, the old reference must be deleted first using "oms_deleteResources" and then reference with new resources.

When deleting only the references of a ".ssv" file, if a parameter mapping file ".ssm" is binded to a ".ssv" file, then the reference of ".ssm" file will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the references of ".ssm" seperately as the ssm file is binded to a ssv file. Hence it is not possible to switch the reference of ".ssm" file alone. So inorder to switch the reference of ".ssm" file, the users need to bind the reference of ".ssm" file along with the ".ssv".

The filename of the reference or resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref (e.g) ":root.ssv", and the ".ssm" file is optional and is provided by the user as the second argument to the API.

oms_status_enu_t oms_referenceResources(const char* cref, const char* ssmFile);

removeSignalsFromResults

Removes all variables that match the given regex to the result file.

oms_status_enu_t oms_removeSignalsFromResults(const char* cref, const char* regex);

The second argument, i.e. regex, is considered as a regular expression (C++11). ".*" and "(.)*" can be used to hit all variables.

rename

Renames a model, system, or component.

oms_status_enu_t oms_rename(const char* cref, const char* newCref);

replaceSubModel

Replaces an existing fmu component, with a new component provided by the user, When replacing the fmu checks are made in all ssp concepts like in ssd, ssv and ssm, so that connections and parameter settings are not lost. It is possible that the namings of inputs and parameters match, but the start values might have been changed, in such cases new start values will be applied in ssd, ssv and ssm. In case if the Types of inputs and outputs and parameters differed, then the variables are updated according to the new changes and the connections will be removed with warning messages to user. In case when replacing a fmu, if the fmu contains parameter mapping associated with the ssv file, then only the ssm file entries are updated and the start values in the ssv files will not be changed.

oms_status_enu_t oms_replaceSubModel(const char* cref, const char* fmuPath);

It is possible to import an partially developed fmu (i.e contains only modeldescription.xml without any binaries) in OMSimulator, and later can be replaced with a fully develped fmu. An example to use the API, oms_addSubModel("model.root.A", "../resources/replaceA.fmu") oms_export("model", "test.ssp") oms_import("test.ssp") oms_replaceSubModel("model.root.A", "../resources/replaceA_extended.fmu")

reset

This function can be called in different model states:

• Before instantiation: setReal can be used to set start values or to define initial unknowns (e.g. parameters, states). The values are not immediately applied to the simulation unit, since it isn't actually instantiated.

• After instantiation and before initialization: Same as before instantiation, but the values are applied immediately to the simulation unit.

• After initialization: Can be used to force external inputs, which might cause discrete changes of continuous signals.

setRealInputDerivative

Sets the first order derivative of a real input signal.

This can only be used for CS-FMU real input signals.

oms_status_enu_t oms_setRealInputDerivative(const char* cref, double value);

A tolerance specified for a model is automatically applied to its root system, i.e. both calls do exactly the same:

oms_setTolerance("model", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);
oms_setTolerance("model.root", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);

Component, e.g. FMUs, pick up the tolerances from there system. That means it is not possible to define different tolerances for FMUs in the same system right now.

In a strongly coupled system (oms_system_sc), the relative tolerance is used for CVODE and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

In a weakly coupled system (oms_system_wc), both the relative and absolute tolerances are used for the adaptive step master algorithms and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

deleteConnectorFromTLMBus

Deletes a connector from a given TLM bus.

status = oms_deleteConnectorFromTLMBus(busCref, connectorCref)

deleteResources

Deletes the reference and resource file in a SSP. Deletion of ".ssv" and ".ssm" files are currently supported. The API can be used in two ways.

1. deleting only the reference file in ".ssd".

2. deleting both reference and resource files in ".ssp".

To delete only the reference file in ssd, the user should provide the full qualified cref of the ".ssv" file associated with a system or subsystem or component (e.g) "model.root:root1.ssv".

To delete both the reference and resource file in ssp, it is enough to provide only the model cref of the ".ssv" file (e.g) "model:root1.ssv".

When deleting only the references of a ".ssv" file, if a parameter mapping file ".ssm" is binded to a ".ssv" file then the ".ssm" file will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the references of ".ssm" seperately as the ssm file is binded to a ssv file.

The filename of the reference or resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref. (e.g) ":root.ssv"

status = oms_deleteResources(cref)

-- Example
oms_importFile("deleteResources1.ssp")
-- delete only the references in ".ssd" file
oms_deleteResources("deleteResources.root:root.ssv")
-- delete both references and resources
oms_deleteResources("deleteResources:root.ssv")
oms_export("deleteResources1.ssp")

duplicateVariant

This API provides support to develop a multi-variant modelling in OMSimulator [(e.g). SystemStructure.ssd, VarA.ssd, VarB.ssd ]. When duplicating a variant, the new variant becomes the current variant and all the changes made by the users are applied to the new variants only, and all the ssv and ssm resources associated with the new variant will be given new name based on the variant name provided by the user. This allows the bundling of multiple variants of a system structure definition referencing a similar set of packaged resources as a single SSP. However there must still be one SSD file named SystemStructure.ssd at the root of the ZIP archive which will be considered as default variant.

status = oms_duplicateVariant(crefA, crefB)

An example of creating a multi-variant modelling is presente below

oms_newModel("model") oms_addSystem("model.root", "system_wc") oms_addSubModel("model.root.A", "A.fmu") oms_setReal("model.root.A.param1", "10") oms_duplicateVariant("model", "varB") oms_addSubModel("varB.root.B" ,"B.fmu") oms_setReal("varB.root.A.param2", "20") oms_export("varB", "variant.ssp")

The variant.ssp file will have the following structure

Variant.ssp

SystemStructure.ssd varB.ssd resources

A.fmu B.fmu

status = oms_exportDependencyGraphs(cref, initialization, event, simulation)

exportSSMTemplate

Exports all signals that have start values of one or multiple FMUs to a SSM file that are read from modelDescription.xml with a mapping entry. The mapping entry specifies a single mapping between a parameter in the source and a parameter of the system or component being parameterized. The mapping entry contains two attributes namely source and target. The source attribute will be empty and needs to be manually mapped by the users associated with the parameter name defined in the SSV file, the target contains the name of parameter in the system or component to be parameterized. The function can be called for a top level model or a certain FMU component. If called for a top level model, start values of all FMUs are exported to the SSM file. If called for a component, start values of just this FMU are exported to the SSM file.

status = oms_exportSSMTemplate(cref, filename)

exportSSVTemplate

Exports all signals that have start values of one or multiple FMUs to a SSV file that are read from modelDescription.xml. The function can be called for a top level model or a certain FMU component.

oms_listVariants("varB")

The API will list the available variants like below <oms:Variants>

<oms:variant name="model" /> <oms:variant name="varB" /> <oms:variant name="varA" />

</oms:Variants>

loadSnapshot

Loads a snapshot to restore a previous model state. The model must be in virgin model state, which means it must not be instantiated.

newCref, status = oms_loadSnapshot(cref, snapshot)

newResources

Adds a new empty resources to the SSP. The resource file is a ".ssv" file where the parameter values set by the users using "oms_setReal()", "oms_setInteger()" and "oms_setReal()" are writtern to the file. Currently only ".ssv" files can be created.

The filename of the resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref. (e.g) ":root.ssv"

status = oms_newResources(cref)

-- Example
oms_newModel("newResources")

oms_addSystem("newResources.root", oms_system_wc)
oms_addConnector("newResources.root.Input1", oms_causality_input, oms_signal_type_real)
oms_addConnector("newResources.root.Input2", oms_causality_input, oms_signal_type_real)

-- add Top level new resources, the filename is provided using the colon suffix ":root.ssv"
oms_newResources("newResources.root:root.ssv")
oms_setReal("newResources.root.Input1", 10)
-- export the ssp with new resources
oms_export("newResources", "newResources.ssp")

referenceResources

Switches the references of ".ssv" and ".ssm" in a SSP file. Referencing of ".ssv" and ".ssm" files are currently supported. The API can be used in two ways.

1. Referencing only the ".ssv" file.

2. Referencing both the ".ssv" along with the ".ssm" file.

This API should be used in combination with "oms_deleteResources".To switch with a new reference, the old reference must be deleted first using "oms_deleteResources" and then reference with new resources.

When deleting only the references of a ".ssv" file, if a parameter mapping file ".ssm" is binded to a ".ssv" file, then the reference of ".ssm" file will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the references of ".ssm" seperately as the ssm file is binded to a ssv file. Hence it is not possible to switch the reference of ".ssm" file alone. So inorder to switch the reference of ".ssm" file, the users need to bind the reference of ".ssm" file along with the ".ssv".

The filename of the reference or resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref (e.g) ":root.ssv", and the ".ssm" file is optional and is provided by the user as the second argument to the API.

status = oms_referenceResources(cref, ssmFile)

-- Example
oms_importFile("referenceResources1.ssp")
-- delete only the references in ".ssd" file
oms_deleteResources("referenceResources1.root:root.ssv")
-- usage-1 switch with new references, only ssv file
oms_referenceResources("referenceResources1.root:Config1.ssv")
-- usage-2 switch with new references, both ssv and ssm file
oms_referenceResources("referenceResources1.root:Config1.ssv", "Config1.ssm")
oms_export("referenceResources1.ssp")

removeSignalsFromResults

Removes all variables that match the given regex to the result file.

status = oms_removeSignalsFromResults(cref, regex)

The second argument, i.e. regex, is considered as a regular expression (C++11). ".*" and "(.)*" can be used to hit all variables.

rename

Renames a model, system, or component.

status = oms_rename(cref, newCref)

replaceSubModel

Replaces an existing fmu component, with a new component provided by the user, When replacing the fmu checks are made in all ssp concepts like in ssd, ssv and ssm, so that connections and parameter settings are not lost. It is possible that the namings of inputs and parameters match, but the start values might have been changed, in such cases new start values will be applied in ssd, ssv and ssm. In case if the Types of inputs and outputs and parameters differed, then the variables are updated according to the new changes and the connections will be removed with warning messages to user. In case when replacing a fmu, if the fmu contains parameter mapping associated with the ssv file, then only the ssm file entries are updated and the start values in the ssv files will not be changed.

Redirects logging output to file or std streams. The warning/error counters are reset.

filename="" to redirect to std streams and proper filename to redirect to file.

status = oms_setLogFile(filename)

setLoggingInterval

Set the logging interval of the simulation.

status = oms_setLoggingInterval(cref, loggingInterval)

setLoggingLevel

Enables/Disables debug logging (logDebug and logTrace).

0 default, 1 default+debug, 2 default+debug+trace

oms_setLoggingLevel(logLevel)

setMaxLogFileSize

Sets maximum log file size in MB. If the file exceeds this limit, the logging will continue on stdout.

oms_setMaxLogFileSize(size)

setReal

Sets the value of a given real signal.

status = oms_setReal(cref, value)

This function can be called in different model states:

• Before instantiation: setReal can be used to set start values or to define initial unknowns (e.g. parameters, states). The values are not immediately applied to the simulation unit, since it isn't actually instantiated.

• After instantiation and before initialization: Same as before instantiation, but the values are applied immediately to the simulation unit.

• After initialization: Can be used to force external inputs, which might cause discrete changes of continuous signals.

setRealInputDerivative

Sets the first order derivative of a real input signal.

This can only be used for CS-FMU real input signals.

status = oms_setRealInputDerivative(cref, value)

setResultFile

Set the result file of the simulation.

status = oms_setResultFile(cref, filename)
status = oms_setResultFile(cref, filename, bufferSize)

The creation of a result file is omitted if the filename is an empty string.

setSolver

status = oms_setSolver(cref, solver)

solver	Type	Description
oms_solver_sc_explicit_euler	sc-system	Explicit euler with fixed step size
oms_solver_sc_cvode	sc-system	CVODE with adaptive stepsize
oms_solver_wc_ma	wc-system	default master algorithm with fixed step size

status = oms_setStopTime(cref, stopTime)

setString

Sets the value of a given string signal.

status = oms_setString(cref, value)

setTLMPositionAndOrientation

setTLMSocketData

Sets data for TLM socket communication.

status = oms_setTLMSocketData(cref, address, managerPort, monitorPort)

setTempDirectory

Set new temp directory.

status = oms_setTempDirectory(newTempDir)

setTolerance

Sets the tolerance for a given model or system.

status = oms_setTolerance(const char* cref, double tolerance)
status = oms_setTolerance(const char* cref, double absoluteTolerance, double relativeTolerance)

Default values are 1e-4 for both relative and absolute tolerances.

A tolerance specified for a model is automatically applied to its root system, i.e. both calls do exactly the same:

oms_setTolerance("model", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);
oms_setTolerance("model.root", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);

Component, e.g. FMUs, pick up the tolerances from there system. That means it is not possible to define different tolerances for FMUs in the same system right now.

In a strongly coupled system (oms_system_sc), the relative tolerance is used for CVODE and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

In a weakly coupled system (oms_system_wc), both the relative and absolute tolerances are used for the adaptive step master algorithms and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

setUnit

Sets the unit of a given signal.

status = oms_setUnit(cref, value)

setVariableStepSize

Sets the step size parameters for methods with stepsize control.

status = oms_getVariableStepSize(cref, initialStepSize, minimumStepSize, maximumStepSize)

from OMSimulator import OMSimulator

oms = OMSimulator()
oms.setTempDirectory("./temp/")
oms.newModel("model")
oms.addSystem("model.root", oms.system_sc)

# instantiate FMUs
oms.addSubModel("model.root.system1", "FMUs/System1.fmu")
oms.addSubModel("model.root.system2", "FMUs/System2.fmu")

# add connections
oms.addConnection("model.root.system1.y", "model.root.system2.u")
oms.addConnection("model.root.system2.y", "model.root.system1.u")

# simulation settings
oms.setResultFile("model", "results.mat")

root.addSubModel('system2', 'FMUs/System2.fmu')

# add connections
root.addConnection('system1.y', 'system2.u')
root.addConnection('system2.y', 'system1.u')

# simulation settings
model.resultFile = 'results.mat'
model.stopTime = 0.1
model.fixedStepSize = 1e-4

model.instantiate()
model.setReal('root.system1.x_start', 2.5)
#or system.setReal('system1.x_start', 2.5)

model.initialize()
model.simulate()
model.terminate()
model.delete()

activateVariant

This API provides support to activate a multi-variant modelling from an ssp file [(e.g). SystemStructure.ssd, VarA.ssd, VarB.ssd ] from a ssp file.

## add list of external resources from filesystem to ssp
oms.addResources("addExternalResources", "../../resources/externalRoot.ssv")
oms.addResources("addExternalResources:externalSystem.ssv", "../../resources/externalSystem1.ssv")
oms.addResources("addExternalResources", "../../resources/externalGain.ssv")
## export the ssp with new resources
oms_export("addExternalResources", "addExternalResources1.ssp")

addSignalsToResults

Add all variables that match the given regex to the result file.

deleteConnectorFromTLMBus

Deletes a connector from a given TLM bus.

status = oms.deleteConnectorFromTLMBus(busCref, connectorCref)

deleteResources

Deletes the reference and resource file in a SSP. Deletion of ".ssv" and ".ssm" files are currently supported. The API can be used in two ways.

1. deleting only the reference file in ".ssd".

2. deleting both reference and resource files in ".ssp".

To delete only the reference file in ssd, the user should provide the full qualified cref of the ".ssv" file associated with a system or subsystem or component (e.g) "model.root:root1.ssv".

To delete both the reference and resource file in ssp, it is enough to provide only the model cref of the ".ssv" file (e.g) "model:root1.ssv".

When deleting only the references of a ".ssv" file, if a parameter mapping file ".ssm" is binded to a ".ssv" file then the ".ssm" file will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the references of ".ssm" seperately as the ssm file is binded to a ssv file.

The filename of the reference or resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref. (e.g) ":root.ssv"

status = oms.deleteResources(cref))

## Example
from OMSimulator import OMSimulator
oms = OMSimulator()
oms.importFile("deleteResources1.ssp")
## delete only the references in ".ssd" file
oms.deleteResources("deleteResources.root:root.ssv")
## delete both references and resources
oms.deleteResources("deleteResources:root.ssv")
oms.export("deleteResources1.ssp")

doStep

Simulates a macro step of the given composite model. The step size will be determined by the master algorithm and is limited by the definied minimal and maximal step sizes.

status = oms.doStep(cref)

duplicateVariant

This API provides support to develop a multi-variant modelling in OMSimulator [(e.g). SystemStructure.ssd, VarA.ssd, VarB.ssd ]. When duplicating a variant, the new variant becomes the current variant and all the changes made by the users are applied to the new variants only, and all the ssv and ssm resources associated with the new variant will be given new name based on the variant name provided by the user. This allows the bundling of multiple variants of a system structure definition referencing a similar set of packaged resources as a single SSP. However there must still be one SSD file named SystemStructure.ssd at the root of the ZIP archive which will be considered as default variant.

status = oms.duplicateVariant(crefA, crefB)

An example of creating a multi-variant modelling is presente below

oms_newModel("model") oms_addSystem("model.root", "system_wc") oms_addSubModel("model.root.A", "A.fmu") oms_setReal("model.root.A.param1", "10") oms_duplicateVariant("model", "varB") oms_addSubModel("varB.root.B" ,"B.fmu") oms_setReal("varB.root.A.param2", "20") oms_export("varB", "variant.ssp")

The variant.ssp file will have the following structure

SystemStructure.ssd varB.ssd resources

A.fmu B.fmu

Exports all signals that have start values of one or multiple FMUs to a SSM file that are read from modelDescription.xml with a mapping entry. The mapping entry specifies a single mapping between a parameter in the source and a parameter of the system or component being parameterized. The mapping entry contains two attributes namely source and target. The source attribute will be empty and needs to be manually mapped by the users associated with the parameter name defined in the SSV file, the target contains the name of parameter in the system or component to be parameterized. The function can be called for a top level model or a certain FMU component. If called for a top level model, start values of all FMUs are exported to the SSM file. If called for a component, start values of just this FMU are exported to the SSM file.

status = oms.exportSSMTemplate(cref, filename)

exportSSVTemplate

Exports all signals that have start values of one or multiple FMUs to a SSV file that are read from modelDescription.xml. The function can be called for a top level model or a certain FMU component.

2. Referencing both the ".ssv" along with the ".ssm" file.

This API should be used in combination with "oms_deleteResources".To switch with a new reference, the old reference must be deleted first using "oms_deleteResources" and then reference with new resources.

When deleting only the references of a ".ssv" file, if a parameter mapping file ".ssm" is binded to a ".ssv" file, then the reference of ".ssm" file will also be deleted. It is not possible to delete the references of ".ssm" seperately as the ssm file is binded to a ssv file. Hence it is not possible to switch the reference of ".ssm" file alone. So inorder to switch the reference of ".ssm" file, the users need to bind the reference of ".ssm" file along with the ".ssv".

The filename of the reference or resource file is provided by the users using colon suffix at the end of cref (e.g) ":root.ssv", and the ".ssm" file is optional and is provided by the user as the second argument to the API.

status = oms.referenceResources(cref, ssmFile)

## Example
from OMSimulator import OMSimulator
oms = OMSimulator()
oms.importFile("referenceResources1.ssp")
## delete only the references in ".ssd" file
oms.deleteResources("referenceResources1.root:root.ssv")
## usage-1 switch with new references, only ssv file
oms.referenceResources("referenceResources1.root:Config1.ssv")
## usage-2 switch with new references, both ssv and ssm file
oms.referenceResources("referenceResources1.root:Config1.ssv", "Config1.ssm")

removeSignalsFromResults

Removes all variables that match the given regex to the result file.

status = oms.removeSignalsFromResults(cref, regex)

The second argument, i.e. regex, is considered as a regular expression (C++11). ".*" and "(.)*" can be used to hit all variables.

rename

Renames a model, system, or component.

status = oms.rename(cref, newCref)

replaceSubModel

Replaces an existing fmu component, with a new component provided by the user, When replacing the fmu checks are made in all ssp concepts like in ssd, ssv and ssm, so that connections and parameter settings are not lost. It is possible that the namings of inputs and parameters match, but the start values might have been changed, in such cases new start values will be applied in ssd, ssv and ssm. In case if the Types of inputs and outputs and parameters differed, then the variables are updated according to the new changes and the connections will be removed with warning messages to user. In case when replacing a fmu, if the fmu contains parameter mapping associated with the ssv file, then only the ssm file entries are updated and the start values in the ssv files will not be changed.

status = oms.replaceSubModel(cref, fmuPath)

It is possible to import an partially developed fmu (i.e contains only modeldescription.xml without any binaries) in OMSimulator, and later can be replaced with a fully develped fmu. An example to use the API, oms_addSubModel("model.root.A", "../resources/replaceA.fmu") oms_export("model", "test.ssp") oms_import("test.ssp") oms_replaceSubModel("model.root.A", "../resources/replaceA_extended.fmu")

setFixedStepSize

Sets the fixed step size. Can be used for the communication step size of co-simulation systems and also for the integrator step size in model exchange systems.

status = oms.setFixedStepSize(cref, stepSize)

setInteger

Sets the value of a given integer signal.

status = oms.setInteger(cref, value)

setLogFile

Redirects logging output to file or std streams. The warning/error counters are reset.

filename="" to redirect to std streams and proper filename to redirect to file.

status = oms.setLogFile(filename)

setLoggingInterval

Set the logging interval of the simulation.

status = oms.setLoggingInterval(cref, loggingInterval)

setLoggingLevel

Enables/Disables debug logging (logDebug and logTrace).

0 default, 1 default+debug, 2 default+debug+trace

oms.setLoggingLevel(logLevel)

setMaxLogFileSize

Sets maximum log file size in MB. If the file exceeds this limit, the logging will continue on stdout.

oms.setMaxLogFileSize(size)

setReal

Sets the value of a given real signal.

status = oms.setReal(cref, value)

This function can be called in different model states:

• Before instantiation: setReal can be used to set start values or to define initial unknowns (e.g. parameters, states). The values are not immediately applied to the simulation unit, since it isn't actually instantiated.

• After instantiation and before initialization: Same as before instantiation, but the values are applied immediately to the simulation unit.

• After initialization: Can be used to force external inputs, which might cause discrete changes of continuous signals.

setRealInputDerivative

Sets the first order derivative of a real input signal.

This can only be used for CS-FMU real input signals.

status = oms.setRealInputDerivative(cref, value)

setResultFile

Set the result file of the simulation.

status = oms.setResultFile(cref, filename)
status = oms.setResultFile(cref, filename, bufferSize)

The creation of a result file is omitted if the filename is an empty string.

setSolver

Sets the solver method for the given system.

status = oms.setSolver(cref, solver)

solver	Type	Description
oms.solver_sc_explicit_euler	sc-system	Explicit euler with fixed step size
oms.solver_sc_cvode	sc-system	CVODE with adaptive stepsize
oms.solver_wc_ma	wc-system	default master algorithm with fixed step size
oms.solver_wc_mav	wc-system	master algorithm with adaptive stepsize
oms.solver_wc_mav2	wc-system	master algorithm with adaptive stepsize (double-step)

setStartTime

Set the start time of the simulation.

status = oms.setStartTime(cref, startTime)

setStopTime

Set the stop time of the simulation.

status = oms.setStopTime(cref, stopTime)

setString

Sets the value of a given string signal.

status = oms.setString(cref, value)

setTempDirectory

Set new temp directory.

status = oms.setTempDirectory(newTempDir)

setTolerance

Sets the tolerance for a given model or system.

status = oms.setTolerance(const char* cref, double tolerance)
status = oms.setTolerance(const char* cref, double absoluteTolerance, double relativeTolerance)

Default values are 1e-4 for both relative and absolute tolerances.

A tolerance specified for a model is automatically applied to its root system, i.e. both calls do exactly the same:

oms_setTolerance("model", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);
oms_setTolerance("model.root", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);

Component, e.g. FMUs, pick up the tolerances from there system. That means it is not possible to define different tolerances for FMUs in the same system right now.

In a strongly coupled system (oms_system_sc), the relative tolerance is used for CVODE and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

In a weakly coupled system (oms_system_wc), both the relative and absolute tolerances are used for the adaptive step master algorithms and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

Sets the unit of a given signal.

status = oms.setUnit(cref, value)

setVariableStepSize

Sets the step size parameters for methods with stepsize control.

status = oms.getVariableStepSize(cref, initialStepSize, minimumStepSize, maximumStepSize)

status = oms.simulate(cref)

stepUntil

Simulates a composite model until a given time value.

status = oms.stepUntil(cref, stopTime)

terminate

Terminates a given composite model.

status = oms.terminate(cref)

Example: Pi

This example uses a simple Modelica model and FMI-based batch simulation to approximate the value of pi.

A Modelica model is used to calculate two uniform distributed pseudo-random numbers between 0 and 1 based on a seed value and evaluates if the resulting coordinate is inside the unit circle or not.

model Circle
  parameter Integer globalSeed = 30020 "global seed to initialize random number generator";
  parameter Integer localSeed = 614657 "local seed to initialize random number generator";
  Real x;
  Real y;
  Boolean inside = x*x + y*y < 1.0;
protected
  Integer state128[4];
algorithm
  when initial() then
    state128 := Modelica.Math.Random.Generators.Xorshift128plus.initialState(localSeed, globalSeed);
    (x, state128) := Modelica.Math.Random.Generators.Xorshift128plus.random(state128);
    (y, state128) := Modelica.Math.Random.Generators.Xorshift128plus.random(state128);
  end when;
  annotation(uses(Modelica(version="4.0.0")));
end Circle;

The model is then exported using the FMI interface and the generated FMU can then be used to run a million simulations in just a few seconds.

Listing 4 Batch simulation of the simple Cirlce model with different seed values. All OMSimulator-related comands are highlighted for convenience.

import math
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import OMSimulator as oms

# redirect logging to file and limit the file size to 65MB
oms.setLogFile('pi.log', 65)

model = oms.newModel('pi')
root = model.addSystem('root', oms.Types.System.SC)
root.addSubModel('circle', 'Circle.fmu')

model.resultFile = '' # no result file
model.instantiate()

results = list()
inside = 0

MIN = 100
MAX = 1000000
for i in range(0, MAX+1):
  if i > 0:
    model.reset()
  model.setInteger('root.circle.globalSeed', i)
  model.initialize()
  if model.getBoolean("root.circle.inside"):
    inside = inside + 1
  if i >= MIN:
    results.append(4.0*inside/i)
model.terminate()
model.delete()

plt.plot([MIN, MAX], [math.pi, math.pi], 'r--', range(MIN, MAX+1), results)
plt.xscale('log')
plt.ylabel('Approximation of pi')
plt.savefig('pi.png')

The following figure shows the approximation of pi in relation to the number of samples.

setFixedStepSize

Sets the fixed step size. Can be used for the communication step size of co-simulation systems and also for the integrator step size in model exchange systems.

status := oms_setFixedStepSize(cref, stepSize);

setInteger

Sets the value of a given integer signal.

status := oms_setInteger(cref, value);

setLogFile

Redirects logging output to file or std streams. The warning/error counters are reset.

filename="" to redirect to std streams and proper filename to redirect to file.

status := oms_setLogFile(filename);

setLoggingInterval

Set the logging interval of the simulation.

status := oms_setLoggingInterval(cref, loggingInterval);

setLoggingLevel

Enables/Disables debug logging (logDebug and logTrace).

0 default, 1 default+debug, 2 default+debug+trace

oms_setLoggingLevel(logLevel);

setReal

Sets the value of a given real signal.

status := oms_setReal(cref, value);

This function can be called in different model states:

• Before instantiation: setReal can be used to set start values or to define initial unknowns (e.g. parameters, states). The values are not immediately applied to the simulation unit, since it isn't actually instantiated.

• After instantiation and before initialization: Same as before instantiation, but the values are applied immediately to the simulation unit.

• After initialization: Can be used to force external inputs, which might cause discrete changes of continuous signals.

setRealInputDerivative

Sets the first order derivative of a real input signal.

This can only be used for CS-FMU real input signals.

status := oms_setRealInputDerivative(cref, value);

setResultFile

Set the result file of the simulation.

status := oms_setResultFile(cref, filename);
status := oms_setResultFile(cref, filename, bufferSize);

The creation of a result file is omitted if the filename is an empty string.

setSolver

Sets the solver method for the given system.

status := oms_setSolver(cref, solver);

The second argument "solver" should be any of the following,

"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_none"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_sc_min"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_sc_explicit_euler"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_sc_cvode"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_sc_max"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_wc_min"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_wc_ma"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_wc_mav"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_wc_assc"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_wc_mav2"
"OpenModelica.Scripting.oms_solver.oms_solver_wc_max"

setStartTime

Set the start time of the simulation.

status := oms_setStartTime(cref, startTime);

setStopTime

Set the stop time of the simulation.

status := oms_setStopTime(cref, stopTime);

setTLMPositionAndOrientation

Sets initial position and orientation for a TLM 3D interface.

status := oms_setTLMPositionAndOrientation(cref, x1, x2, x3, A11, A12, A13, A21, A22, A23, A31, A32, A33);

setTLMSocketData

Sets data for TLM socket communication.

status := oms_setTLMSocketData(cref, address, managerPort, monitorPort);

setTempDirectory

Set new temp directory.

status := oms_setTempDirectory(newTempDir);

setTolerance

Sets the tolerance for a given model or system.

status := oms_setTolerance(const char* cref, double tolerance);
status := oms_setTolerance(const char* cref, double absoluteTolerance, double relativeTolerance);

Default values are 1e-4 for both relative and absolute tolerances.

A tolerance specified for a model is automatically applied to its root system, i.e. both calls do exactly the same:

oms_setTolerance("model", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);
oms_setTolerance("model.root", absoluteTolerance, relativeTolerance);

Component, e.g. FMUs, pick up the tolerances from there system. That means it is not possible to define different tolerances for FMUs in the same system right now.

In a strongly coupled system (oms_system_sc), the relative tolerance is used for CVODE and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

In a weakly coupled system (oms_system_wc), both the relative and absolute tolerances are used for the adaptive step master algorithms and the absolute tolerance is used to solve algebraic loops.

setVariableStepSize

Sets the step size parameters for methods with stepsize control.

status := oms_getVariableStepSize(cref, initialStepSize, minimumStepSize, maximumStepSize);

setWorkingDirectory

Set a new working directory.

status := oms_setWorkingDirectory(newWorkingDir);

simulate

Simulates a composite model.

status := oms_simulate(cref);

stepUntil

Simulates a composite model until a given time value.

status := oms_stepUntil(cref, stopTime);

terminate

Terminates a given composite model.

status := oms_terminate(cref);

Graphical Modelling

OMSimulator has an optional dependency to OpenModelica in order to utilize the graphical modelling editor OMEdit. This feature requires to install the full OpenModelica tool suite, which includes OMSimulator. The independent stand-alone version doesn't provide any graphical modelling editor.

Composite models are imported and exported in the System Structure Description (SSD) format, which is part of the System Structure and Parameterization (SSP) standard.

See also FMI documentation and SSP documentation.

Figure 62 OMEdit MainWindow and Browsers.

New SSP Model

A new and empty SSP model can be created from File->New->SSP menu item.

Figure 63 OMEdit: New SSP Model

That will open a dialog to enter the names of the model and the root system and to choose the root systems type.

There are three types available:

• TLM - Transmission Line Modeling System

• Weakly Coupled - Connected Co-Simulation FMUs System

• Strongly Coupled - Connected Model-Exchange FMUs System

Figure 64 OMEdit: New SSP Model Dialog

Figure 65 OMEdit: Newly created empty root system of SSP model

Add System

When a new model is created a root system is always generated. If you need to have another system in your root system you can add it with SSP->Add System.

For example only a weakly coupled system (Co-Simulation) can integrate strongly coupled system (Model Exchange). Therefore, the weakly coupled system must be selected from the Libraries Browser and the respective menu item can be selected:

Figure 66 OMEdit: Add System

That will pop-up a dialog to enter the names of the new system.

Figure 67 OMEdit: Add System Dialog

Add SubModel

A sub-model is typically an FMU, but it also can be result file. In order to import a sub-model, the respective system must be selected and the action can be selected from the menu bar:

Figure 68 OMEdit: Add SubModel

The file browser will open to select an FMU (.fmu) or result file (.csv) as a subsmodel. Then a dialog opens to choose the name of the new sub-model.

Figure 69 OMEdit: Add SubModel Dialog

Figure 70 OMEdit: Root system with added FMU.

Simulate

Select the simulate button (symbol with green arrow) or select Simulation->Simulate from the menu in OMEdit to simulate the SSP model.

Dual Mass Oscillator Example

The dual mass oscillator example from our testsuite is a simple example one can recreate using components from the Modelica Standard Library. After splitting the model into two models and exporting each as an Model-Exchange and Co-Simulation FMU.

SSP Support

Composite models are imported and exported in the System Structure Description (SSD) format, which is part of the System Structure and Parameterization (SSP) standard.

Bus connections are saved as annotations to the SSD file. Bus connectors are only allowed in weakly coupled and strongly coupled systems. Bus connections can exist in any system type. Bus connectors are used to hide SSD connectors and bus connections are used to hide existing SSD connections in the graphical user interface. It is not required that all connectors referenced in a bus are connected. One bus may be connected to multiple other buses, and also to SSD connectors.

The example below contains a root system with two subsystems, WC1 and WC2. Bus connector WC1.bus1 is connected to WC2.bus2. Bus connector WC2.bus2 is also connected to SSD connector WC1.C3.

TLM systems are only allowed on top-level. SSD annotations are used to specify the system type inside the ssd:SimulationInformation tag, as shown in the example below. Attributes ip, managerport and monitorport defines the socket communication, used both to exchange data with external tools and with internal simulation threads.

TLM connections are implemented without regular SSD connections. TLM connections are only allowed in TLM systems. TLM connectors are only allowed in weakly coupled or strongly coupled systems. Both connectors and connections are implemented as SSD annotations in the System tag.

The example below shows a TLM system containing two weakly coupled systems, wc1 and wc2. System wc1 contains two TLM connectors, one of type 1D signal and one of type 1D mechanical. System wc2 contains only a 1D signal type connector. The two 1D signal connectors are connected to each other in the TLM top-level system.
