This package enables the communication with the simulation software product "Tecnomatix Plant Simulation" by Siemens. It speaks to PlantSim via the COM interface from within Python and includes useful mappings for some more complex PlantSim data types like tables.
from plantsim.plantsim import Plantsim
from plantsim.table import Table
plantsim = Plantsim(version='15.2', license_type='Research')
plantsim.load_model('model.spp')
plantsim.set_path_context('.Context.In.Your.Model')
table = Table(plantsim, 'TableName')
print(table) An example, together with a simple simulation model, can be found in example.
You need a working version of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation installed on your system to be able to use this package.
If you have a NVIDIA 3D graphics card installed, make sure to select it as the default in the "NVIDIA Control Panel". Otherwise when loading a model into Plant Simulation, you will get an information window that you need to manually click every time.
