Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces

Package with interfaces for models that serves as an FMU container

Information

This package contains connectors that are used to export fluid flow models as Functional Mockup Units.

The connectors Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Inlet and Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Outlet are hierarchical. This was done for the exported FMUs to have hierarchical names for their input and output signals.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.InterfacesPackage (Icon for packages containing interfaces).

Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.FluidProperties

Type definition for fluid properties

Information

This is a connector that declares the following fluid properties:

These quantities are used in the connectors Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Inlet and Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Outlet.

Note that none of these quantities is declared to be an input or output, because the role is reversed whether the properties are in inlet or outlet connector.

Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Inlet Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Inlet

Connector for fluid inlet

Information

This is a connector for a fluid inlet. The connector takes as an input the following quantities:

If allowFlowReversal = true, the connector also outputs the following quantities.

If allowFlowReversal = false, then these outputs are not present.

Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.MassFractionConnector

Mass fraction of water vapor per kg total mass as a connector

Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.MassFractionConnector

Information

Connector with variable of type Modelica.SIunits.MassFraction. Note that the mass fraction is in kg water vapor per total mass of air, rathern than per kg of dry air.

This connector has been implemented to conditionally remove the mass fraction if the medium has only one species. While this could have been done using a vector of mass fractions with zero length, as is used in fluid connectors, this implemantation uses a scalar to avoid vectorized inputs and outputs of FMUs.

Extends from Modelica.SIunits.MassFraction.

Modelica definition

connector MassFractionConnector = Modelica.SIunits.MassFraction "Mass fraction of water vapor per kg total mass as a connector";

Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Outlet Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Outlet

Connector for fluid outlet

Information

This is a connector for a fluid outlet. The connector produces as an output the following quantities:

If allowFlowReversal = true, the connector requires as input the following quantities.

If allowFlowReversal = false, then these inputs are not present and hence not required to be provided.
