General workflow

The following procedure presents a summarized, general workflow for migrating AVEVA PRO/II SImulation data into AVEVA Process Simulation. You can use this workflow to familiarize yourself with the overall migration process. For detailed, step-by-step procedures on how to migrate the AVEVA PRO/II Simulation data, see Migrate AVEVA PRO/II Simulation fluids and Migrate AVEVA PRO/II Simulation stream data instead.

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

   The Migration.xlsm file opens in Microsoft Excel.

2. In Excel, import the desired AVEVA PRO/II Simulation data.

3. On the Configuration worksheet, specify the name of the AVEVA Process Simulation simulation that you want to migrate the data into.

4. On the Sources worksheet and the various fluid worksheets, review the imported AVEVA PRO/II Simulation data and update the data as desired.

   Currently, AVEVA Process Simulation does not support all of the thermodynamic methods and data that are available in AVEVA PRO/II Simulation. We provide messages on the various fluid worksheets that suggest possible equivalences and modifications for any unsupported thermodynamic selections from AVEVA PRO/II Simulation. Please carefully review the messages on the worksheets for each fluid that you want to migrate.

5. 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.

6. Migrate the fluid data into the specified AVEVA Process Simulation simulation.

7. Migrate the stream data into the specified AVEVA Process Simulation simulation.

8. In AVEVA Process Simulation, open the simulation, open the migrated Fluids and Source models, and then verify that you see all the desired data.

   If you are not satisfied with the migrated data and you want to make additional changes, you can repeat steps 4 through 6 as many times as necessary until you are satisfied with the results.
