Custom objects represent software emulation of new Axxon PSIM objects and allow for configuring their states, reactions, and events. You can work with custom objects using scripts, macros and macroevents.

You can create custom objects using the ddi.exe and CustomTypeEditor.exe utilities in the <Axxon PSIM installation folder>\Tools.

In the How to create a custom object section, you can find an example of creating two types of custom objects that can be used to show the state of the abandoned objects detection tool on the map or to show any other user states. The states of objects are changed using macros, scripts, or via IIDK.

The procedure for creating and configuring a custom object:

  1. Prepare the DBI file with the required types of objects.
  2. Prepare the DDI file—it specifies the events, reactions, states and state transition rules for the newly created objects.
  3. Prepare the XML file with the parameters of the newly created objects.
  4. Update the main database using The idb.exe utility for converting databases, selecting database templates and making backup copies of databases.
  5. Create a custom object in Axxon PSIM.
