After simulations have finished running the results of the simulation are made available in the "Output" tab, that is the fourth tab visible in the top of the window inside a case.
How to run a simulation is explained in this article Running simulations. More information about the dashboard here and the export for output summary here.
The percentile calculation method for probability-weighted statistics in the ConDesign output sheet is changed from a normal distribution to an interpolation method.
Below is an explanation of the different export possibilities.
Master Schedule
Construction Design has the ability to export the installation campaign data from spreadsheets to the most popular planning tools, such as MS Project™ and Primavera™, in the form of Gantt-charts. The data is exported in ".xml"-format compatible with either of the tools.
The outputted data for both files is one of the simulations runs which has the closest final installation date of an asset as the respective P-value, so you can see exactly what is happening in the simulation, vs the Output report and the dashboard, which displays an aggregation of the P-values.
Excel Output data
To extract the data from the simulation tool for further analysis, if such is needed, you can download the spreadsheet with the output data. This is possible by clicking on Pxx Excel output data in the Export-tab.
Please note that the outputted data is one of the simulations runs which has the closest final installation date of an asset as the respective P-value, so you can see exactly what is happening in the simulation, vs the Output report and the dashboard, which displays an aggregation of the P-values.
There are data of the previous sections and a few additional values included. In the following table is visible, which tab in the excel file include which information.
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| Installation timeline | Database of Installation timeline in the user interface |
| Installed turbines | Database of Installed wind farm assets in the user interface |
| Economics table | Database of Expenditures and costs of the installation campaign in the user interface |
| Vessel utilization | Database of Vessel utilization in the user interface |
| WoW per month | The sum of waiting on weather time per installation vessel aggregated by month |
| WoW per month (avg all runs) | The average of the sum of the waiting on weather times per installation vessel aggregated by month of all runs |
| WoW per year | The sum of waiting on weather time per installation vessel aggregated by year. |
| Completed assets | The completion period for each wind turbine asset dates (if specified in the experiment) |
| Commissioned assets | Commission completion for each wind turbine asset dates (if specified in the experiment) |
| Vessel timeline | All vessel status changes with a time stamp. |
An example document is here available at the bottom of this article.
Export to external tools
The export is possible with the buttons "Download MS Project output data" or "Download Primavera output data".
