FMI Viewer

A VS Code extension for quick inspection of FMU files (Functional Mock-up Interface 2.0 & 3.0).

Features

• Open any .fmu file directly in VS Code as a custom editor

• Model metadata — name, FMI version, generation tool, timestamp, GUID/token

• Interface types & capabilities — Model Exchange, Co-Simulation, Scheduled Execution with all capability flags

• Platform detection — shows which binaries are included (e.g. x86_64-linux, aarch64-darwin)

• Variable browser — filterable, sortable table with virtual scrolling for large models (400k+ variables)

  

  • Filter by name or value reference
  • Filter by causality (input, output, parameter, local, independent)
  • Filter by variability (constant, fixed, tunable, discrete, continuous)
  • Click-to-copy on variable names and value references

• Contents tree — ASCII folder tree of the FMU archive contents

• Theme integration — follows your VS Code color theme

Limitations and scope

• Only displays data from the FMU archive structure and modelDescription.xml — runtime information (e.g. actual variable values) is not available
• No simulation of FMUs; binaries inside the archive are never executed
