Telsa to St-Sim

[rswaty]

Hi everyone,
I am working with colleagues at UW-Madison who have done heaps of work in Telsa but would like to experiment with St-Sim. How do you migrate from Telsa to St-Sim.

Apologies if this is out in the forum already. I have a hunch I could probably glean the answers, but well, I do not quite have the brainpower.

Hi Randy,

 

This is a good question that has not been asked in the forum. At the moment there is no autmoated way of migrating from TELSA to ST-Sim but is has been done by researchers at NCSU. There are two possible approaches that you could use:

 

If they still have the pathways in VDDT format, they can go through the tutorial for going from VDDT to Path to ST-Sim (see  http://www.apexrms.com/content/importing-vddt-projects-st-sim and http://www.apexrms.com/downloads/syncrosim/Path-To-ST-Sim-Tutorial.pdf). Then reconfigure the spatially explicit settings in the model.

 

If you have knowledge of the TELSA database and SQL then you can design queries that export the data to a suitable format that can be imported to ST-Sim using the excel import templates for each model property.

 

In either case you will also need to create raster based spatial model inputs rather than vector based ones.

I would be happy to help with specifics if you or your colleagues want to give me a call.

 

Regards,

Leonardo
