XMF is a software architecture using a graph technology for structuring application code introducing a high level of flexibility and extensibility.
The eXtensible Modeling Framework (XMF) is MARIN’s framework to develop simulation components and simulator applications.
XMF is a software architecture using a graph technology for structuring application code introducing a high level of flexibility and extensibility.
Because of the flexibility of graphs, gradual restructuring can be realised for existing and new simulation software code and eventually simulation systems. By using a clear functionality layering, the resulting application can easily be integrated in other simulation software or systems with minimal effort and without changing the core of the code and even facilitating the integration efforts.
For real-time and time domain simulation software, XMF has become MARIN's core architecture.

XMF use
As a software product, XMF consists of a set of libraries to be used as part of software developement for time-domain simulation tools and real-time simulators.
Although C++ is the preferred programming language for XMF module development, module develpment in other languages is also possible.
The XMF product contains the following libraries:
