fmi-tcp-master {#mainpage}

Co-simulates slaves (FMUs) over TCP. Has built in support for weak and strong coupling.

Typical usage

1. The FMI host starts the slave server.
2. A user that wants to simulate starts the master application, which connects to one or more slaves.
3. Simulation is run and results are stored on disk.

Install instructions

Prerequisities are

• Lacewing version 0.5.4
• Protobuf
• FMITCP
• Strong Coupling Core

To build, run:

cd fmi-tcp-master/;
mkdir build && cd build;
cmake .. -DFMITCP_INCLUDE_DIR=<FMITCP include files location> \
         -DFMITCP_LIBS_DIR=<FMITCP libraries location> \
         -DLACEWING_INCLUDE_DIR=<Lacewing include files location> \
         -DLACEWING_LIBS_DIR=<Lacewing libraries location> \
         -DSTRONG_COUPLING_INCLUDE_DIR=<Strong coupling core include files location> \
         -DSTRONG_COUPLING_LIBS_DIR=<Strong coupling core libraries location>
         -DFMIL_INCLUDE_DIR=<FMILibrary include files location> \
         -DFMIL_LIBS_DIR=<FMILibrary libraries location>

Usage

Typically, you start the server and listen to a port. You you provide the path to an FMU or just "dummy" to serve a dummy FMU.

./bin/slave --host localhost --port 3000 dummy

Start client and connect to server. This code below will connect and simulate until time=10:

./bin/master --stopAfter 10 tcp://localhost:3000

Run any of the commands with the --help flag to see the help pages.
