Parameter database toolbox

Toolbox features

The toolbox makes it possible for Ecolego users to directly access a parameter database from within Ecolego.

Connecting Ecolego to a parameter database has the following advantages:

• Centralized handling of parameter values
• Separation between modelling and parameter data collection
• Parameter naming consequent between modellers in the same project
• Traceability (-“who is responsible for this value”)
• Faster model development by using the quick-import tools
• Quality assurance

Facilia Parameter Database

The Facilia Parameter Database is a relational database schema for storing, managing and quality assuring parameter values. The database package includes a user interface for database users and administrators.

Important:

• The Facilia Parameter Database package is not included in the setup of the Ecolego and Toolboxes and must be installed separately. Please contact us if you have purchased the Parameter Database Toolbox and need to set up the Database.
• The database is built on Microsoft SQLServer Express and can be installed either on a server or the same machine as Ecolego.
• The database can contain parameter data (values, probability density functions and statistics) as well as lookup table values and settings. The Database itself contains no default values, but once you install the Database you can start creating your own set of the parameter data as well as lookup table values and settings.
