The '''Functional Mock-up Interface''' (or '''FMI''') defines a standardized [[Interface (computing)|interface]] to be used in [[computer simulation]]s to develop complex [[cyber-physical system]]s.
The vision of FMI is to support this approach: if the real product is to be assembled from a wide range of parts interacting in complex ways, each controlled by a complex set of [[physical law]]s, then it should be possible to create a virtual product that can be assembled from a set of models that each represent a combination of parts, each a model of the physical laws as well as a model of the [[control system]]s (using [[electronics]], [[hydraulics]], and digital [[software]]) assembled digitally. The FMI standard thus provides the means for model based development of systems and is used for example for designing functions that are driven by electronic devices inside vehicles (e.g. ESP controllers, active safety systems, combustion controllers). Activities from systems modelling, simulation, validation and test can be covered with the FMI based approach.
To create the FMI standard, a large number of software companies and research centers have worked in a cooperation project established through a European consortium that has been conducted by [[Dassault Systèmes]] under the name of [[MODELISAR]]. The MODELISAR project started in 2008 to define the FMI specifications, deliver technology studies, prove the FMI concepts through use cases elaborated by the consortium partners and enable tool vendors to build advanced prototypes or in some cases even products. The development of the FMI specifications was coordinated by [[Daimler AG]]. After the end of the MODELISAR project in 2011, FMI is managed and developed as a [https://modelica.org/association/ Modelica Association Project (MAP)].
The FMI Standard provides three interface types for different aspects of models:
* FMI for model exchange,
* FMI for [[co-simulation]],
* FMI for
In practice, the FMI implementation by a software modelling tool enables the creation of a simulation model that can be interconnected or the creation of a software library called FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit).<ref name="modelica_Jan10">{{cite web| url=https://www.modelica.org/publications/newsletters/2010-1/index_html#item8| title=Functional Mockup Interface (FMI)| publisher=modelica.org| date=January 2010| quote=''On Jan. 26, version 1.0 of the open Functional Mockup Interface was released (FMI for model exchange 1.0).

architecture, the interfaces of the system elements, and their connections and parameterization.
The aim of SSP is to simplify the exchange and integration of system elements that are used in the
distributed development of a system to be simulated using a wide variety of tools.

SSP is being developed as a project of the Modelica Association and is based
on the FMI specification. FMI enables the exchange of individual simulation
components, while SSP enables the exchange of complete simulation systems, their variants and
parameterization. The simulation components of a simulation system described in SSP can also be
independent of FMI and map to other implementations.
SSP is extensible to support specific requirements or ___domain-specific extensions: e.g. OSI, documentation of requirements, traceability or process steps, etc. SSP is open with regard to the component formats. Although it was based on FMI, it can also be used with components specifications of any other format.
== Accompanying standards and recommendations ==
In May 2014, the project group Smart Systems Engineering (SmartSE) of the [[ProSTEP iViP]] Association published its Recommendation PSI 11 for the cross-company behavior model exchange.<ref>[http://www.prostep.org/en/medialibrary/publications/recommendations-standards.html#c1077 ProSTEP iViP Recommendation PSI 11, Smart Systems Engineering, Behavior Model Exchange, V 1.0], May 2014.</ref> FMI thereby is the technological basis. The PSI 11 specifies interaction scenarios, use cases, a reference process and templates, which thereby could ease the industrial application. End of 2016 the group published a movie, which should highlight the industrial benefits.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-3iIot0fO8&t=52s Benefits of utilizing FMI for realizing cross-company Systems Engineering], Status February 2017</ref>
