TNIM is the format for data exchange between NET and other data formats. It can be used as both an export and an import function.
The TNIM Data Exchange is started in the Industry Model Explorer with the context menu of the project.
TNIM export
If the export is selected, the following dialog appears:
It is recommended that you use version TNIM V2. After selecting the version, the export file must be specified.
An XML file is created in the export. For this, the directory must be selected and a file name must be specified. This XML file is immediately compressed in a zip file.
The network layer must then be selected.
The area restriction can be specified via a polygon in the graphic.
If a cluster has been selected for area restriction, its name is displayed.
If a polygon without a name has been selected, only “selected” is displayed.
The export is started with the “Start” button and can be documented in a log file in CSV format.
Finally, the dialog can be ended by pressing the “Close” button.
TNIM import
If the import is selected, the following dialog appears:
Version TNIM V2 is available for import. The import file must first be specified.
The file to be imported must be available in .zip format. This must be selected in the corresponding directory.
The network layer must then be selected
The import is started with the “Start” button and can be documented in a log file in CSV format.
Finally, the dialog can be ended by pressing the “Close” button.
