 # mlfmu
 
-MLFMU serves as a tool for developers looking to integrate machine learning models into simulation environments. It enables the creation of Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs), which are simulation models that adhere to the [FMI standard](https://fmi-standard.org/), from trained machine learning models exported in the [ONNX](https://onnx.ai/) format. The mlfmu package streamlines the process of transforming ONNX models into FMUs, facilitating their use in a wide range of simulation platforms that support the FMI standard such as the [Open Simulation Platform](https://open-simulation-platform.github.io/) or DNV's [Simulation Trust Center](https://store.veracity.com/simulation-trust-center)

+    > Note: We use conan for building the FMU. For the conan building to work later on, you will need the Visual Studio Build tools 2022 to be installed. It is best to do this **before** installing conan (which we install via pip install of requirements). You can download and install the Build Tools for VS 2022 (for free) from <https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022>.
+
+    > Note 2: After you install conan, you want to make sure it has the correct build profile. You can auto-detect and create the profile by running `conan profile detect`. After this, you can check the profile in `C:\Users\<USRNAM>\.conan2\profiles\.default` (replace `<USRNAM>` with your username). You want to `compiler=msvc`, `compiler.cppstd=17`, `compiler.version=193` (for Windows).
