Run an FMU Simulation

This tutorial will teach you how to run an FMU simulation as a Function, use a second Function with logic to process output, invoke the simulation, and store the output using a Thing schema.

The goal of this tutorial is to run an FMU file that was exported by Altair Twin Activate as a Function in IoT Studio and have the simulation triggered on telemetry data and on a schedule.

The input and output for the FMU is stored in AnythingDB using a Thing schema. A second Function is needed to process the input, create a request to invoke the FMU function, process the response and store the output in AnythingDB.

This tutorial uses an FMU with a single input and a single output.
