Thanks for the pull request!
Regarding the page https://github.com/grouperenault/fmutool/tree/main/doc that you link from "ExamplesURL":
Could you please add information, with which FMUs from which exporting tools you have tested fmutool? (including the References FMUs?)
And with which tools and checkers from https://fmi-standard.org/validation/ you tested the re-exported FMUs?

I just added https://github.com/grouperenault/fmutool/tree/main/doc#readme
Current (public) automated tests suite includes only 1 FMU.

IMHO the name "fmutool" conflicts with the trademark usage guidelines of the FMI:

The use of the letters FMI or FMU in a product name, reference or other relevant context is not allowed when:
[...]
The use can be interpreted as a variant, subset or improvement of the original FMI standard (e.g. using a tool name, say FMIplus, that can be interpreted as supporting with extensions/improvements with respect to one of the FMI versions),

Could the name "fmutool" lead someone to believe it is a variant of the FMI standard?
Changing the name at this stage would be difficult (it is use internally at Renault and publicly released). What alternatives?

Maybe something like "Renault FMU Tool"?

Renault logo would be just beside the tool name. So would "FMU tool" instead of "FMUtool" be suitable?
(putting "Renault" in the name itself could lead to trademark concern)

So would "FMU tool" instead of "FMUtool" be suitable?

We discussed the name in the FMI Steering Committee and kindly ask to change or extend the name for two reasons:

  • due to the very generic name "FMU tool" it could be confused with artefacts officially provided by the FMI project, especially at it modifies the modelDescription.xml file, which should not be done by non-experts. Can you make the aspect of modifying the FMU more explicit?
  • With the name "FMU tool" it will be very hard to get found with a search machine, as there will be many hits for other FMI supporting tools
