[Scilab-users] Problem with Xcos FMU wrapper 0.6

[Dr.Umut Durak]

Hi all,

We are recently working on integrating FMUs (co-simulation) from Scilab into 
our real-time simulation framework 2Simulate 
(https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271963197_2Simulate_A_Distributed_Real-Time_Simulation_Framework?ev=prf_pub
), in order to exercise the suitability of FMI for (Scilab/Xcos) model 
integration for real time flight simulators (you can find more information 
about our model integration work for Matlab in 
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266205585_Model_Integration_Workflow_for_Keeping_Models_up_to_Date_in_a_Research_Simulator?ev=prf_pub
). As the first step, we are trying to develop a simle standalone 
application for simulating an FMU using VC++,  basically inspired from 
QTronic SDK
(http://www.qtronic.de/en/fmusdk.html). We exported some sample FMUs for 
Co-Simulation from Xcos SCILAB using fmu-wrapper-0.6 
(http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/fmu-wrapper/). The problem we are 
facing is that the exported FMU can only be imported in Xcos. In VC++, it 
gives me an error stated that "couldn't load xxx.dll". We tried to import 
the FMU using OpenModelica, but it also fails with the same problem, the DLL 
file. In the module documentation it is mentioned that Scilab must be 
installed because the shared library use some dependencies, but it's already 
installed.
Again, according to the module description, the FMU should work fine in 
other tools, but we failed to achieve it. Any one has an example VC++ FMU 
master? We are then willing to prepare a tutorial and add it to  fmu-wrapper 
documentation.
