It is possible to export a simscape fluid model to FMU?

I made a simscape fluid model with directional valves and double acting cylinder and I need to export it to a fmu to co-simulate with other software. It is possible to export a simscape fluid model to a FMU?

If you can bring your Simscape model to fixed-step & fixed-cost (see this Doc page), you should then be able to generate a standalone FMU following the example here. Your Simscape part of the model needs to use a local solver with a fixed time-step and finite number of "runtime consistency iterations", both set in the Solver Configuration block.

Does the standalone FMU of simscape model require simscape license during simulation ?

[Yifeng Tang]

my impression is that it won't even requires MATLAB or Simulink if you import it into other software for co-simulation, as the FMU should be "standalone". You may try the export, close MATLAB and reopen, import FMU into a Simulink model and run, and then use license('inuse') command to check if a Simscape license was used when running the FMU.
