Tutorial steps
- Build a Plant Model - using the Model view in the Flow Configuration tool.
Now that you have a deployed Flow System, let’s start building a Model of your production facility. Select the "Model" view tab. Flow created a new default root folder called "The Juice Factory" (the name you gave your Flow System when creating it).
Right-click on one of the folders …
The menu allows a number of options:
- New Folder – create a new folder to group objects in your model
- New Event – create a new event definition
- New Metric – create a new metric to be measured
- Rename – rename any object in your model
- Delete– delete any object from your model
- Move Up – reorder folders to provide a procedurally accurate representation of your facility
- Move Down – reorder folders
- Import - import a portion of a model exported from another Flow instance
- Export - export the selected item (and all its children) to a file which can be imported into the same/another Flow instance
- Copy - copy the selected item (and all its children) to the clipboard
- Paste - paste from the clipboard where the copy function was invoked from the same, or a different(!), Flow instance
- Refresh – refresh the model
You can also use the Flow Zone toolbar to drag new objects onto your model
Let’s assume you have a good understanding of your Juice Factory layout. Create the following folder structure to represent the Juice Factory facility:
