This page describes how to use Simulation environments in Axiodis and corresponding key points.
...
Goals
...
Simulation environment anagement management allows the user to define some dedicated environment in which he can make some simulations (new constraints, new data, new optimization profiles, and so on) without any change within the operational environment.
The system can manage many environments, but the operational environment is always existing and is unique:
- If the current environment is the operational environment, then the system shows all the module according to the licencelicense,
- If the current environment is a simulation environment, then the system shows only Data & ContraintsConstraints and Planning modules,
| Info |
|---|
Simulation environments management must be activated in the licence license to be used |
WEB portal
...
Once the user is connected, a new combo-box is available within the WEB portal. This combo-box contains all the simulation environments allowed to the current user.
At the first time a user launch launches the application, this combo-box contains only the operational environment: OPE - Operational environment.
...
If none environment is authorized for the current currently connected user, then the combo-box will be empty, and the user will not be able to launch the RCP application. He will have to ask an appropriate user in order to give him access to some environments (See Simulation environments management below).
...
RCP portal
...
Once the connected user choose chooses one environment within the WEB portal, then he can launch the RCP platform. According to the type of the chosen environment (Simulation or Operational), the system show more or less fewer modules.
The RCP platform is always open for 1 and only 1 environment. We will see below how to swapp swap from one environment to another.
Also, a new menu within the RCP platform, showing:
- All the environments allowed to the current currently connected user: by selecting one environment, the current currently connected user can easily swapp swap from one to another
- The option "Save as", if the connected user has at least the authorization to create a new simulation environment (See below in the Administration module),
- The option "Manage environments", if the connected user has at least the authorization to consult the existing environments,
...
Some new authorizations are available, visible according to the licencelicense:
- Environments consultation : allows the user to access the environment management window
- Environments creation : allows the connected user to create new simulation environments within the system
- Environments modification : allows the connected user to modify simulation environments
- Environments deletion : allows the connected user to delete simulation environments
...
Accessible by the menu Environments + Manage environments:
This windows window is enabled only if the connected user has at least the authorization to consult the environments. Then, according to the above authorizations, the connected user can add, modify or delete some environment.
...
Some informations are read-only and setted set by the system when creating the environment:
- Type of environment : Simulation or Operational
- Owner: the user who created the environment
- Creation date: date the date the environment was created
Authorizations
Allow to list all listing all the users defined in the system with access to the current simulation. By default, at the creation of a new simulation environment, the owner is part of the list. He can be remomvedremoved.
System forbids
- to delete a simulation environment on in which a user is connected
- to remove the authorization from one environment for a connected user on which he is connected
...
Within the Data & Constraint module, filters and displays are only for the current currently connected user: there's no publication to other users as it exists within the cockpits.
...
If he creates one filter or display in any environment (simulation or operational), then it will be available in all the other one.
...
User-defined informations
Within the Data & Constraints module, a connected user on a simulation environment is using the same definition of free user-defined informations as defined in the operational environment, and cannot define some new free user-defined informations, nor delete an existing one.
That means that, if he needs a new free user-defined information, he should first switch to the operational environment, and then create a new free user-defined information, according to its habilitations.
...
For the Data and Constraints module, the authorizations taken into account considered within a simulation environment are those defined by the operational environment.
...
- Case (1) (eg Alerts)
- Data from the operational environment (according to the user habilitations) is only editable in the operational environment
- Data from the operational enviroment environment is visible in simulation environments (according to the user habilitations) and disabled (Gray, Italic, and read-only),
- No specific data for a simulation environment
- Case (2) (eg logistic sites, trucks, trailers, optimization profiles)
- Data from the operational environment (according to the user habilitations) is only accessible from the operational environment
- Specfic Specific data dedicated for each simulation environment,
- Case (3) (eg logistic profiles, legislation profiles)
- Data from the operational environment (according to the user habilitations) is available on all simulation environment, with Read-Only access
- Specific data dedicated for each simulation environment,

All the view are the same as defined for the planning module, according to the view profiles associated to with the current currently connected user.
