Connection to Plant Simulation

In case all necessary libraries are available within the Plant Simulation model and all necessary steps for integrations are completed, following steps are necessary to integrate a Plant Simulation model into the SimUI work flow

Note for prerequisite:

Base64.exe is required within the same windows folder as the Plant Simulation model to transform icons into text-form (export is JSON-based)

1. Export *.simui-project file from Plant Simulation

•Button Export Model Network as SimJSON within SimJSONCtrl in the root frame of the model (instance)

•*.simui-file will be created and saved in subfolder PlantSimUIExport

2. Import *.simui-project file into front end

•Project-list -> new project -> import project -> select *.simui-file

3. Copy Plant Simulation model *.spp to the App-Folder of the SimController

4. Adjust the configuration within the Config-Folder of the SimController

•Config-File Plant.yaml

•PathToModel definitions are used to distinguish between Plant Simulation models when simulation jobs are triggered from SimUI front ends (with possibly different toolboxes) and automatically executed at the server

•Add an entry for the specific model:

•<SimModelName>_api<apiVersion>: <SimModelName>.spp with:

o<SimModelName> as name of Plant Simulation model; this is also automatically encoded in the project file at the time of the SimUI file export

o<apiVersion> is a definable version number in case of model iterations;
