PythonFMU3

A lightweight framework that enables the packaging of Python 3 code as co-simulation FMUs (following FMI version 3.0).






This project is a fork of the original PythonFMU repository available at https://github.com/NTNU-IHB/PythonFMU, which was used as the basis for adding support for FMI 3.0. While we have made efforts to expand the functionality of this project, it currently has some limitations and does not support all the features of FMI 3.0. We would like to acknowledge and give credit to the original PythonFMU project for their contributions to this work.
Support:
Please take a look at the examples to see the supported features.
Future
In no particular order, we plan to add support for:

Support more variable types from FMI3
Improve array support
Add event mode

How do I build an FMU from python code?

Install pythonfmu3 package:

pip install pythonfmu3


Create a new class extending the Fmi3Slave class declared in the pythonfmu3.fmi3slave module (see below for an example).
Run pythonfmu3 build to create the fmu.

usage: pythonfmu3 build [-h] -f SCRIPT_FILE [-d DEST] [--doc DOCUMENTATION_FOLDER] [--no-external-tool]
[--no-variable-step] [--interpolate-inputs] [--only-one-per-process] [--handle-state]
[--serialize-state] [--use-memory-management]
[Project files [Project files ...]]

Build an FMU from a Python script.

positional arguments:
Project files Additional project files required by the Python script.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f SCRIPT_FILE, --file SCRIPT_FILE
Path to the Python script.
-d DEST, --dest DEST Where to save the FMU.
--doc DOCUMENTATION_FOLDER
Documentation folder to include in the FMU.
--no-external-tool If given, needsExecutionTool=false
--no-variable-step If given, canHandleVariableCommunicationStepSize=false
--interpolate-inputs If given, canInterpolateInputs=true
--only-one-per-process
If given, canBeInstantiatedOnlyOncePerProcess=true
--handle-state If given, canGetAndSetFMUstate=true
--serialize-state If given, canSerializeFMUstate=true

How do I build an FMU from python code with third-party dependencies?
Often, Python scripts depends on non-builtin libraries like numpy, scipy, etc.
PythonFMU does not package a full environment within the FMU.
However, you can package a requirements.txt or environment.yml file within your FMU following these steps:

Install pythonfmu package: pip install pythonfmu3
Create a new class extending the Fmi3Slave class declared in the pythonfmu3.fmi3slave module (see below for an example).
Create a requirements.txt file (to use pip manager) and/or a environment.yml file (to use conda manager) that defines your dependencies.
Run pythonfmu3 build -f myscript.py requirements.txt to create the fmu including the dependencies file.

And using pythonfmu3 deploy, end users will be able to update their local Python environment. The steps to achieve that:

Install pythonfmu package: pip install pythonfmu3
Be sure to be in the Python environment to be updated. Then execute pythonfmu3 deploy -f my.fmu

usage: pythonfmu3 deploy [-h] -f FMU [-e ENVIRONMENT] [{pip,conda}]

Deploy a Python FMU. The command will look in the `resources` folder for one of the following files:
`requirements.txt` or `environment.yml`. If you specify a environment file but no package manager, `conda` will be selected for `.yaml` and `.yml` otherwise `pip` will be used. The tool assume the Python environment in which the FMU should be executed is the current one.

positional arguments:
{pip,conda} Python packages manager

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FMU, --file FMU Path to the Python FMU.
-e ENVIRONMENT, --env ENVIRONMENT
Requirements or environment file.

Example:
Write the script
from pythonfmu3 import Fmi3Causality, Fmi3Slave, Boolean, Int32, Float64, String


class PythonSlave(Fmi3Slave):

def __init__(self, **kwargs):
super().__init__(**kwargs)

self.author = "John Doe"
self.description = "A simple description"

self.time = 0.0
self.intOut = 1
self.realOut = 3.0
self.booleanVariable = True
self.stringVariable = "Hello World!"
self.register_variable(Float64("time", causality=Fmi3Causality.independent))
self.register_variable(Int32("intOut", causality=Fmi3Causality.output))
self.register_variable(Float64("realOut", causality=Fmi3Causality.output))
self.register_variable(Boolean("booleanVariable", causality=Fmi3Causality.local))
self.register_variable(String("stringVariable", causality=Fmi3Causality.local))

# Note:
# it is also possible to explicitly define getters and setters as lambdas in case the variable is not backed by a Python field.
# self.register_variable(Float64("myReal", causality=Fmi3Causality.output, getter=lambda: self.realOut, setter=lambda v: set_real_out(v))

def do_step(self, current_time, step_size):
return True

Create the FMU
pythonfmu3 build -f pythonslave.py myproject

In this example a python class named PythonSlave that extends Fmi3Slave is declared in a file named pythonslave.py,
where myproject is an optional folder containing additional project files required by the python script.
Project folders such as this will be recursively copied into the FMU. Multiple project files/folders may be added.
