Functional Mockup Interface 2.0: The Standard for Tool independent Exchange of Simulation Models

The Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) is a tool independent standard for the exchange of dynamic models and for Co-Simulation. The first version, FMI 1.0, was published in 2010. Already more then 30 tools support FMI 1.0. In this paper an overview abotu the upcoming version 2.0 of FMI is given that combines the formerly separated interfaces for Model Exchange and Co-Simulation in one standard. Based on the experience on using FMI 1., many small details have been improved and new features introduced to ease the use and increase the performance especially for larger models. Additionally, a free FMI compliance checker is available and FMI models from different tools are made available on the web to simplify testin
