The Plant Builder can create the process model from process data input through files. This option enables you to automate their data transfer from intelligent P&IDs and similar applications or to recreate an earlier-built model that was saved in a compact format as the result of on-line data entry.

These files must be placed in the \input subdirectory of the current PlantWise project.

To build a model using these files, choose Model > Import… from the PlantWise Main dialog (see Model Commands), or select the process model input when creating a new model in the Plant Builder New Model dialog. To create these files from an existing model, choose Model > Save As from the PlantWise Main dialog.
