• Right-click it and select “Add >> Serverdata”.
• Then, in the Properties of the serverdata created, set:

GENERAL:
VARIABLE : HT, NINTGR, TIME
DTPLOT : 0 s

• Select “Output >> Profile”, and set:

DTPLOT : 0.01 s
DTTIME : 0 s

• Set the same for ”Output >> Trend”:

DTPLOT : 0.01 s
TIME : 0 s

Now that the OLGA problem has been set up,

• Press the F7 key (or click the green button at the top of the OLGA window) to verify the
setup

• Then press the F4 button, or click the play button as shown in Fig. 7.2.9 to RUN BATCH.

Doing this, the simulation has not been started yet, but the OLGA server is now listening to
possible clients that will connect to it.

7.2.10 Run OLGA simulation

The TransAT–OLGA coupling communication is managed by a Python script called OLGA client.py,
which must be executed on the machine where OLGA is run. This file is located in the TransAT
installation directory inside the folder transatMB/OLGA CLIENT.

Thus, in order to be able to start the OLGA simulation a Python installation is required on
the Windows machine that runs OLGA (version 2.7.3, 32 bit compilation has been tested) to-
gether with an additional package, which is called OpenOPC. This package can be downloaded
from: “http://sourceforge.net/projects/openopc/files/openopc/1.2.0/”.

To install OpenOPC,

• Double-click “OpenOPC-1.2.0.win32-py2.7.exe”, and use the default installation settings.
