eFMI concepts

eFMI enables both the representation and storage of systems components with models transformed in successive stages:

Behavioral initial model : Behavior model with reference results derived from original (a-)causal physics/control model (eg Modelica, Simulink)
Algorithm Code : Discretized, causal, algorithmic, upper-bounded solution for original physics/control model (may contain embedded integrators)
Production Code : Generic or target specific C code, with access / services functions for embedded system integration
Binary Code : Binary representation to run on specific HW targets
Description is done through manifest files
Multiple stages can be included in the same eFMU container
the existing FMI standard is supported

Thus, eFMI specification gathers +260 pages of concepts and technical description for the implementation in tools.

eFMI Specifications - Version 1.0.0-alpha.4

Current available version is provided at the end of EMPHYSIS project V1 Alpha 4.
