Creating and Running a Transform
A transform is a framework for mathematical or logical functions that operate on data. Extraction and optimization are accomplished through the use of transforms. A transform can operate on any combination of data sets, parameters, and variables. These inputs are used to calculate either a new data set or new values for parameters and variables. Transforms are created for Setups, since they typically operate on data from a particular Setup.
To create and run a transform:
| 1 |
Open the Model window and select the desired Setup. |
| 2 |
Click the Extract/Optimize tab and note the list of existing transforms. |
| 3 |
Click New and provide a name for the new transform in the dialog box that appears. |
| 4 |
Click OK and the new transform name is added to the list. |
| 5 |
Select an existing function from the Browser, or type Program2 or Program in the Function field, and press Enter to create your own. |
| 6 |
Fill in the argument fields displayed for a selected function, or type the desired text if creating your own. |
| 7 |
To run the transform, click Execute. |
