FMI Composer is a collaborative simulation tool that facilitates the integration of various simulation models across industries using the FMI standard, allowing different teams to create model components that fit together seamlessly. It enables version-controlled model development, automated testing, and the use of a standardized format (.ssp) for saving system models, enhancing reuse and maintainability. The tool also supports flexible co-simulation, allowing users to simulate models in their preferred tools and export systems as FMUs.

- 7. © Modelon 7 FMI COMPOSER® SAVE SYSTEM MODEL ON AN OPEN FORMAT System model is saved as an .ssp-file: an open, vendor-neutral, standardized format SSP: system structure and parameterization • Standard format for defining systems of FMUs • Defines connections, parameterizations, etc. • New open standard under development • Project within Modelica Association (parallel to FMI standardization group) • Mature standard proposal exists • Targeted for release in late 2017
- 8. FMI COMPOSER® THE SSP STANDARDIZED SAVE FORMAT © Modelon 8 The .ssp file is a zip file containing • System structure description as an xml-file • Included FMUs in a resources folder • Optionally, additional files as specified by the standard The system structure description file defines • Components • Inputs and outputs • Connections • Graphical layout of system • Other system meta data All on a fully standardized format
