chrono::ChExternalFmu Class Reference

Description

Chrono physics item that wraps a model exchange FMU.

This class allows importing the underlying model in the associated FMU and encapsulate it into a ChExternalDynamics physics item which can be added to a Chrono system. The dynamics of the model exchange FMU are integrated at the same time as the Chrono system and its states can be coupled to other components in the system.

◆ GetIntParametersList()

std::unordered_set< std::string > chrono::ChExternalFmu::GetIntParametersList ( ) const

Get a list of all integer "parameters" among the FMU variables.

These are integral variables, with variability!="constant" that have initial="exact" or causality="input" and are not state variables. The value of such parameters can be set by calling SetIntParameterValue().

◆ GetRealInputsList()

std::unordered_set< std::string > chrono::ChExternalFmu::GetRealInputsList ( ) const

Get a list of all continuous real "inputs" among the FMU variables.

These are floating point variables, with causality="input" and variability="continuous". The value of such parameters can be set by providing functions of time through SetRealInputFunction().

◆ GetRealParametersList()

std::unordered_set< std::string > chrono::ChExternalFmu::GetRealParametersList ( ) const

Get a list of all real "parameters" among the FMU variables.

These are floating point variables, with variability!="constant" that have initial="exact" or causality="input" and are not state variables. The value of such parameters can be set by calling SetRealParameterValue().

◆ GetStatesList()

std::unordered_set< std::string > chrono::ChExternalFmu::GetStatesList ( ) const

Get a list of all real states among the FMU variables.

These are floating point variables that are declared as state variables. The value of such parameters can be set by calling SetInitialCondition().

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::ChExternalFmu::Initialize ( )
overridevirtual

Initialize this physics item.

This function initializes the underlying FMU as well as this physcis item.

Reimplemented from chrono::ChExternalDynamics.

◆ Load()

void chrono::ChExternalFmu::Load ( const std::string &  instance_name,
const std::string &  fmu_filename,
const std::string &  unpack_dir = "",
bool  logging = false,
const std::string &  resources_dir = "" 
)

Load and instantiate the FMU with given name and wrap it as a Chrono physics item.

Both FMI 2.0 and FMI 3.0 model exchange FMUs are acceptable. If an empty unpack_dir name is specified, the FMU archive is extracted in a temporary directory. If an empty resources_dir name is specified, the directory in the FMU file is used (if any).

Parameters
instance_namename of the FMU instance
fmu_filenamename of the FMU file
unpack_dirunpack directory
loggingenable FMU logging
resources_dirlocation of FMU resources

◆ SetInitialCondition()

void chrono::ChExternalFmu::SetInitialCondition ( const std::string &  name,
double  value 
)

Set the initial value for an FMU state.

This function must be called before Initialize() and only for a floating point FMU variable that is declared as state variable.

◆ SetIntParameterValue()

void chrono::ChExternalFmu::SetIntParameterValue ( const std::string &  name,
int  value 
)

Set the value of an integer parameter.

This function must be called before Initialize() and only for an integral FMU variable, with variability!="constant" that has initial="exact" or causality="input" and is not a state variable.

◆ SetRealInputFunction()

void chrono::ChExternalFmu::SetRealInputFunction ( const std::string &  name,
std::function< double(double)>  function 
)

Set a continuous input function.

This function will be called automatically during the simulation loop, before interogating the FMU for the model equations, to return a value that is then used to set the FMU variable with specified name at the current time. Continuous inputs are floating point FMU variables, with causality="input" and variability="continuous".

◆ SetRealParameterValue()

void chrono::ChExternalFmu::SetRealParameterValue ( const std::string &  name,
double  value 
)

Set the value of a real parameter.

This function must be called before Initialize() and only for a floating point FMU variable, with variability!="constant" that has initial="exact" or causality="input" and is not a state variable.
