An FMU (.fmu) is a zipped package that
could contain the binaries and resources needed to solve the model that it represents along
with a model description (.xml) file.
An FMU could be of the type Model
Exchange (ME) or Co-simulation (CS) or both. An ME FMU contains the necessary states and
variables that could be solved by the calling solver. A CS FMU can contain its own solver or
calls another solver. In this case, two solvers co-simulate (one calling solver and other
solving the FMU) to solve the entire model. An FMU may contain both modes ME and CS. In this
case, the Type attribute in the FMU panel will be editable and you can select the mode in
which the FMU is solved.
Check FMU will run the FMU through the FMU compliance checker
as provided by the FMI standard. Along with the information about the contents of the FMU,
the checker verifies the validity of the information and try to execute the FMU. Warnings or
Errors are posted in the resulting dialog.
