Extract plant models

You can create a new single-plant model from an embedded plant in a Network model. Follow these steps:

1. In the Supply Chain Models tab of the Model Explorer, select a Network model with at least one embedded plant.

2. In the Supply Chain Models group of the Home ribbon tab, click the lower half of the Add Model button, and choose Extract new Single-Plant Model from the list. The Select Single Plant Case dialog box opens.

   

3. Choose the Plant for which you want to export a case, and the specific Case you want to export.

   

4. Click OK. The New Model from Case dialog box opens.

   

5. If desired, edit the Name, Location and Description of the new model in the General tab.

6. If you want to export also the sub-cases of the chosen case, select Preserve sub cases.

7. In the UoM tab, select a weight or volume basis for the model from the Wgt/Vol Basis list. This is only used to select default options for unit display and does not affect the underlying mathematics of the optimization problem.

8. In the Copy Options tab, select each option you want to enable:

   • Maintain Results: preserves a copy of the current case results in the new model.

   • Update Creator: updates the Created By field in the case list of the new model with your user name, and the Created time and date to the current time and date.

9. Click OK. The new model is created.
