A Novel Proposal on how to Parameterize Models in Dymola Utilizing External Files under Consideration of a Subsequent Model Export using the Functional Mock-Up Interface

This paper introduces a novel proposal on how to parameterize models with data, taking a subsequent model export into account, using e.g. the Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI). During model export parameters are either assigned with values directly or they are linked to external data-files. If the design of models or libraries is done without considering how data is handled in an exported model, those concepts are often mixed, resulting in an inconsistent data management which is cumbersome or even error prone for the user.
