ospx#

ospx is an extension package to farn, adding support to build OSP (co-)simulation cases using functional mockup units (FMUs).

ospx supports

building of case-specific OSP (co-)simulation configuration files
watching the progress of cosim, and saving final simulation results as a pandas dataframe.

Installation#

pip install ospx

ospx requires the following (sub-)package:

dictIO: foundation package, enabling ospx to handle configuration files in dictIO dict file format.

However, dictIO gets installed automatically with ospx.

ospx provides both an API for use inside Python as well as a CLI for shell execution of core functions.

Reading a caseDict file and building the case-specific OSP (co-)simulation configuration files:

from ospx import OspCaseBuilder

OspCaseBuilder.build('caseDict')

The above task can also be invoked from the command line, using the ‘ospCaseBuilder’ command line script installed with ospx:

ospCaseBuilder caseDict

For more examples and usage, please refer to ospx’s documentation.

A caseDict is a file in dictIO dict file format used with farn.

For a documentation of the caseDict file format, see File Format in ospx’s documentation on GitHub Pages.

For a detailed documentation of the dictIO dict file format used by farn, see dictIO’s documentation on GitHub Pages.

Update pip and setuptools:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

git clone the dictIO repository into your local development directory:

git clone https://github.com/dnv-opensource/ospx path/to/your/dev/ospx

In the ospx root folder:

Create a Python virtual environment:
```
python -m venv .venv
```
Activate the virtual environment:

..on Windows:
```
> .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
```
..on Linux:
```
source .venv/bin/activate
```
Update pip and setuptools:
```
(.venv) $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
```
Install ospx’s dependencies:
```
(.venv) $ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
```
This should return without errors.

Finally, install ospx itself, yet not as a regular package but as an editable package instead, using the pip install option -e:
```
(.venv) $ pip install -e .
```
Test that the installation works (in the ospx root folder):
```
(.venv) $ pytest .
```
