PowerWorld Simulator - Automation Server (SimAuto)
The Simulator Automation
Server (SimAuto) allows you to take advantage of the power of automation to extend the
functionality of PowerWorld Simulator to any external program that you
write. Using Simulator Automation Server you can launch and control
PowerWorld Simulator from within another application, enabling
you to: access the data of a Simulator case, perform defined
Simulator functions and other data manipulations, and send
results back to your original application, to a Simulator auxiliary
file, or to a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet.
The Simulator Automation
Server acts as a COM Object, which can be accessed from various
Windows-based programming languages that support COM compatibility.
Examples of programming tools with COM compatibility are Borland®
Delphi, Microsoft® Visual C++, and Microsoft® Visual Basic, just to
name a few.
With COM (Component Object
Model) technology incorporated into PowerWorld Simulator, you obtain
the following benefits:
-
Ability to create custom
applications to automate frequent tasks;
-
Addition, modification,
and retrieval of Simulator case data at runtime;
-
Capability to carry out
such development with the most simple and common tools; and
-
Easy integration of
results into Microsoft® Excel.
