To export a Simulink model as an FMU 2.0 Co-Simulation unit:

1. Install Simulink Compiler and FMI Kit for Simulink.
2. Open your model and configure input/output ports using In1 and Out1 blocks.
3. In MATLAB Command Window, execute export command:

   exportToFMU('my_simulink_model', 'FMUType', 'CoSimulation', 'FMIModuleVersion', '2.0');
   

4. In DIgSILENT PowerFactory, open DSL / FMI Model Definition, import the generated my_simulink_model.fmu file, and map grid signals.
