License-free surrogate model generation

A surrogate model node configured to convert a proprietary model to a tool-agnostic surrogate model using a functional mockup interface (FMI) standard, the surrogate model node comprising:

• processing circuitry;
• and
• memory coupled with the processing circuitry, wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the surrogate model node to:
• receive a proprietary model as a functional-mockup unit (FMU) 100;
• perform automated dataset generation on the FMU to create datasets based on design of experiments and input requirements;
• determine steady-state operational-points;
• generate the tool-agnostic surrogate model based on the datasets and the steady-state operational-points;
• validate the tool-agnostic surrogate model based on the datasets,
• wherein the memory includes instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the surrogate model node to validate the tool-agnostic surrogate model, the surrogate model node to:
• iteratively perform, until the datasets meet a threshold requirement, one or more of:
• performing the automated dataset generation,
• determining the steady-state operational-points, or
• generating the tool-agnostic surrogate model;
• and
• output the tool-agnostic surrogate model as an output FMU model that is free of licensing requirements of a license for the proprietary model based on the tool-agnostic surrogate model being validated.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including program code to be executed by processing circuitry of a surrogate model node,

• whereby execution of the program code causes the surrogate model node to:
• receive a proprietary model as a functional-mockup unit (FMU);
• perform automated dataset generation on the FMU to create datasets based on design of experiments and input requirements;
• determine steady-state operational-points;
• generate a tool-agnostic surrogate model based on the datasets and the steady-state operational-points;
• validate the tool-agnostic surrogate model based on the datasets,
• wherein the program code to be executed by processing circuitry of the surrogate model node to validate the tool-agnostic surrogate model, the surrogate model node to:
• iteratively perform, until the datasets meet a threshold requirement, one or more of:
• performing the automated dataset generation,
• determining the steady-state operational-points, or
• generating the tool-agnostic surrogate model;
• and
• output the tool-agnostic surrogate model as an output FMU model that is free of licensing requirements of a license for the proprietary model based on the tool-agnostic surrogate model being validated.
