A Framework for Joint Simulation of Distributed FMUs

In this study we designed a joint simulation framework for distributed Functional Mock-up Interfaces (FMUs), which could be regarded as an extension of FMI criterion. The proposed framework includes remote procedure call to exchange data in distributed network efficiently. Meanwhile, a node management is designed to monitor and manage connection status and invocation procedures. In addition, the I/O Management module is used to ensure global consistency of data and interfaces. Moreover, a Time Management module is created to provide time advance function. An electro-hydraulic brake system is taken as an example to show feasibility of this framework.
