General Remarks for EbsScript

 

EbsScript is a tool for Ebsilon that enables you to use the input, output and calculation capabilities of Ebsilon automatically and to combine them with your own calculations. It consists of

• the EbsScript Editor, that is used to create EbsScripts. This is a comfortable editor with browser-assisted input of keywords and object names, copy/paste, search/replace, bookmarks, colouring of keywords.

• the EbsScript Explorer, that is used to manage the EbsScripts available for your model and export/import of scripts to/from other models.
• the EbsScript Executor, that allows to start EbsScripts directly without using the editor.

Note: you may also use a user-defined button to start an EbsScript, when you assign the EbsScript-ID to that button.

 

EbsScript

• uses a PASCAL syntax, extended with Ebsilon specific EbsScript Functions for calculation, profile administration, data exchange etc.
• has full access (read and write) to all calculation parameters, specification values, characteristics and result values for all components, results for all pipes and for all profiles
• uses a compiler with a syntactic check and error messages
• permits interactive input and output to a log window that may be redirected to a file.

 

To address a value of a dedicated specification value of a dedicated component or  pipeline within a dedicated profile, EbsScript uses

• the name of the component or pipeline,
• the identifier of the specification value, and
• the name or identifier of the profile.

 

Keep this in mind, when you rename components, pipelines or profiles.
