How to encode co-simulation scenarioes?

[CThuleHansen]

When defining co-simulation scenarios there are different approaches.

Derived One of these is to define properties on the FMUs and their respective ports and then automatically calculate the given order of getting, setting and dostepping.

Explicit Another is to define the connections between the FMUs and the overall simulation approach i.e. Jacobi/Gauss-Seidel.

Regardless of the approach there are also other relevant properties to consider:

• Convergence loop
• Step size negotiation / calculation
• Hierarchical structure
• Adaptive structure and possibly others.
