==Comparison to Simulink S-Functions==
FMI is often compared to [[Simulink]] S-Functions since both technologies can be used to integrate third-party tools together. S-Functions are used to specify a computer language description of a dynamic system. They are compiled as MEX-files that are dynamically linked into [[MATLAB]] when needed. S-Functions use a calling syntax that interacts with Simulink’s equation solvers. This interaction is similar to the interaction that takes place between built-in Simulink blocks and the solvers.<ref>{{cite web

FMI proponents explain that FMI models have several advantages over Simulink S-Functions:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://synchronics.inria.fr/lib/exe/fetch.php/modelica-fmi-elmqvist.pdf |title=Functional Mockup Interface – Overview |author1=Martin Otter |author2=Hilding Elmqvist |author3=Torsten Blochwitz |author4=Jakob Mauss |author5=Andreas Junghanns |author6=Hans Olsson |work=synchronics.inria.fr |publisher=[[National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control|INRIA]] |accessdate=2011-01-23 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720233637/http://synchronics.inria.fr/lib/exe/fetch.php/modelica-fmi-elmqvist.pdf |archivedate=July 20, 2011 }}</ref>
* S-Functions format is proprietary, whereas the FMI schema is licensed under a [[BSD licenses|BSD license]].
* The building blocks of S-Functions are much more complex than FMI, making it very difficult to integrate in simulators other than Simulink itself.
* Furthermore, the S-Functions format is specific to Simulink.
* S-Functions are not suited for [[embedded system]]s, due to the memory overhead of S-Functions.

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>
