  Virtual Integration Capability is paramount to perform early validation of
Cyber Physical Systems. The objective is to guide the systems engineer so as to
ensure that the system under design meets multiple criteria through
high-fidelity simulation. In this paper, we present an integration scheme that
leverages the FMI (Functional Mock-Up interface) standard and the AADL
architecture description language. Their combination allows for validation of
systems combining embedded platform captured by the AADL, and FMI components
that represent physical elements, either mechanical parts, or the environment.
We present one approach, and demonstrator case studies.
