Initializing help system before first use

Using Inter-scenario Data Access

Data from external scenarios can be accessed using the mminsight.scenariodata I/O driver with a standard Mosel initializations from block.
Example (in Mosel model): 
declarations
  CITIES: set of string
  DRIVING_DISTANCES: array(CITIES,CITIES) of real
end-declarations
initializations from “mminsight.scenariodata:/DrivingDistancesModel/USDrivingDistances” 
  DRIVING_DISTANCES as “CityDrivingDistances” 
end-initializations

This populates the array DRIVING_DISTANCES with the content of the array CityDrivingDistances from the scenario USDrivingDistances in the model DrivingDistanceModel.

The basic format for the initializations from block is as follows: 
initializations from “mminsight.scenariodata:<repository path>”
  LOCAL ENTITY_NAME_1 as “ENTITY_NAME_1_IN_EXTERNAL_SCENARIO” 
  LOCAL ENTITY_NAME_2 as “ENTITY_NAME_2_IN_EXTERNAL_SCENARIO” 
  LOCAL ENTITY_NAME_3 as “ENTITY_NAME_3_IN_EXTERNAL_SCENARIO” 
end-initializations

There is no limitation the number of external entities you can specify. To access more than one scenario, use multiple initializations from blocks.
