(1) is included in the FMI description (model.png, documentation, sources, binaries are optional).

(2) is resolved by removing the header files fmiModelTypes.h and fmiModelFunctions.h completely from the FMU. Reasoning:

In the sources directory the header files are not included since:

• fmiModelTypes.h makes no sense, because if sources are provided then the target simulator defines the fmiModelTypes.h file and not the fmu.

• fmiModelFunctions.h is not needed, because it is implicitly defined by atttribute fmiVersion in the xml file. Furthermore, in order that the C-compiler can check for consistent function arguments, the header file from the target machine must be used when compiling the C-sources. It would therefore be counter productive (unsafe), if the fmiModelFunctions.h file would be present.

In the binary directory the header files are not included since:

• fmiModelFunctions.h is not used from the target simulator, since this header file was already utilized to build the target simulator executable. Via attribute xmlVersion from the xml file, or via function call fmiGetVersion() the version number of this header file used to construct the FMU can be deduced.

• fmiModelTypes.h is not needed, since it is implicitly defined by the platform directory (e.g. win32 for 32-bit machine or linux64 for 64-bit machine), and the version that was used to construct the FMU can be inquired via function call fmiGetModelTypesPlatform().
