Migrate AVEVA PRO/II Simulation fluids

The Migration feature translates AVEVA PRO/II Simulation fluids into Fluid Types in AVEVA Process Simulation. Typically, an AVEVA PRO/II Simulation fluid uses information from both a component slate and a method slate to define the properties of the fluid. Instead of component slates and methods slates, AVEVA Process Simulation uses Fluid Types. A Fluid Type includes both component data and thermodynamic method data to define the properties of a fluid in the simulation.

Migrate AVEVA PRO/II Simulation fluids into AVEVA Process Simulation:

1. In AVEVA Process Simulation, on the Advanced tab, in the Migrate group, select .

   The Migration.xlsm file opens in Microsoft Excel.

   This file is a macro-enabled Excel workbook. Depending on your Excel settings, you may need to select Enable Content when the file first opens.

2. In Excel, on the Configuration worksheet, in the Version list, select the AVEVA PRO/II Simulation version that you want to use for the migration.

   All installed versions of AVEVA PRO/II Simulation appear in this list.

3. On the AVEVA Migrate tab on the Excel ribbon, in the Import group, select PROII.

   The Open dialog appears.

4. Navigate to and select the .prz file that contains the fluids that you want to import, and then select Open.

   The Configuration worksheet loads the data from the .prz file, including a list of streams and model data from the .prz file along with suggested AVEVA Process Simulation names. Also, new worksheets appear for each fluid in the .prz file that provide detailed information on the corresponding fluid's intended configuration in AVEVA Process Simulation.

5. On the Configuration worksheet, in the outlined cell next to AVEVA Process Simulation Repository Simulation Name, enter the name of the AVEVA Process Simulation simulation that you want to migrate the fluids into.

6. On the worksheets for each fluid in the simulation, review the fluid configuration and make changes if needed.

   The Log worksheet shows potential areas to review for each fluid. There are some thermodynamic selections in AVEVA PRO/II Simulation that do not have corresponding selections in AVEVA Process Simulation. For these cases, the Migration feature provides proposed equivalences on the fluid worksheet, which you can review and change if needed.

7. If your simulation in AVEVA PRO/II Simulation uses a custom thermodynamic library that contains component data or binary interaction data, you must add the custom library to AVEVA Thermodynamic Data Manager (TDM) by doing the following:

   1. Copy the corresponding .lb1 and .lb2 files to the %userprofile%\My Thermo Data folder.

      You can also create a new sub-folder with a custom name under My Thermo Data, and then copy and paste the files in there.

   2. Open your custom library in TDM and save it.

      If the custom library includes pure component (PURECOMP) databanks, TDM creates the .bnk and .cmp files for the custom library. The software needs these files to properly transfer fluid data.

   You have to complete this step only once for each custom library. After that, you can reuse the .lb1, .lb2, .bnk, and .cmp files with any simulation from AVEVA PRO/II Simulation that uses the associated custom library.

8. On the AVEVA Migrate tab, in the Export group, select Fluids.

   The Log worksheet appears with messages related to the migration status. If the migration successfully completes, the software creates an AVEVA Process Simulation simulation (.simx) with the name specified in the C5 cell on the Configuration worksheet. If this simulation already exists, the software adds the migrated Fluid Types to the simulation.

   You can find the new simulation file in the Repository Manager of AVEVA Process Simulation. If desired, you can export the simulation to a different folder location after the migration is complete.

   You can find the migrated Fluid Types in the simulation-specific Model Library in this simulation.

9. In AVEVA Process Simulation, open the simulation and review the data in the migrated Fluid Types.

   If you are not satisfied with the migrated data, you can repeat steps 6 and 7 as many times as needed until you are satisfied with the data. Each time you perform the migration, the software creates new Fluids that use the current data on the worksheets for the each fluid. The new Fluid Types use the same names as the original Fluid Types but append the original name with a number.
