Use case 1

Upload a Flow Network model from a SimConstruct workspace into the RealTime database (RTDB), but do not refresh the Flow Network model in the SimConstruct workspace using the simx file.

Context:

• .simx file may not exist.

• SimConstruct workspace exists.

• Pipeline specified in the .simx file is already defined in the SimConstruct workspace.

Outcome:

• Tool will not check for the existence of a .simx file.

• Tool will upload the specified Flow Network model using the definition available in the SimConstruct workspace (Unified Object Model [UOM]) into the RTDB.

Usage Example:

FnetExport -f "Line_20" -p "Workspace_1" -e "es/control_room" [-d "dataset"] [-c "mocChangeset"]

Note: This example assumes the Workspace_1 project and the Line_20 pipeline exist and are already loaded.

In the usage example, the arguments will load Line_20 in the Workspace_1 SimConstruct project and export it to the es\control_room RealTime system.

Notes: The parameter [-d "dataset"] is optional. The argument is only used when the Flow Network is created in RealTime for the first time.

The parameter [-c "mocChangeset"] is optional but should be specified for distributed systems.

Equivalence in the SimConstruct User Interface:

Executing the command line string corresponds to completing the following actions in SimConstruct:

1. Select the Workspace_1 Workspace.

   

2. Select the Line_20 pipeline.

   

3. Click UPDATE DATABASE.
