The FMI Toolbox for MATLAB® enables easy to use integration of physical models developed in state of the art modeling tools in the MATLAB®/Simulink environment. The toolbox relies on the open FMI standard and is ideal for control systems development.
High-fidelity physical models are key components in development of control systems, and contribute to increased quality and shorter development cycles. Modeling languages such as Modelica are commonly used to develop accurate simulation models of systems in a wide range of domains, including mechanics, electronics, and thermodynamics.
The FMI toolbox for MATLAB® links state of the art Modelica-compliant tools, including AMESim, Dymola and SimulationX, to the MATLAB®/Simulink environment. Support for the FMI standard ensures flexibility and cross-platform interoperability.
OPTIMICA Studio by Modelon is the perfect companion to the FMI Toolbox. The combination of these tools provides a complete Modelica and FMI-based tool chain that is integrated into MATLAB®/Simulink.

FMI Support
The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) is an open standard for exchange of compiled models, targeting tool interoperability and model reuse. The FMI technology is adopted by a large number of open source and commercial tools enabling easy exchange of compiled models. Several tools support export of FMI models and more are following. For a complete list see the Functional Mock-up Interface home page.
