FMI4cpp (work in progress)

FMI4cpp is a cross-platform FMI 2.0 implementation written in modern C++.

Influenced by it's spiritual brother FMI4j, it aims to be an easy to install, easy to use, object oriented and fast FMI implementation for C++.

FMI4cpp supports both Co-simulation and Model Exchange.

Why should I use this over other C/C++ FMI Libraries

Because it provides a clean, easy to use API and is easy to install. It perform just as good as FMI Library, provides more features and is significantly easier to both build and use.
