  2. Right clik "My computer" -> Manage -> System tools -> Local users and groups - > Groups-> Double click “Siemens TIA Openness” and add your username
  3. Edit the file path in the example file to match your installation of Siemens.Engineering.dll
  4. Download and install Python

Option 1, running directly (not recommended)

  1. in the windows search bar type "command prompt" to open Command Promt (CMD)
  2. Install pythonnet by typing: pip install pythonnet
  3. Browse to the location of the example file and type: Python opennesspy.py

Option 2, running in a Virtual environment(in this example using Miniconda (Anaconda))

  1. Download Miniconda
  2. Open Command Prompt (CMD)
  3. Create a new environment by typing: conda create --name opennesspy python=3.7
  4. Actiavte the environment: conda activate opennesspy

  7. To leave the environment type conda deactiave

Optional: instead of manually installing use the provided environment.yml file

Recommandation: develop using Jupyter Notebook

  1. Start Command Promt (CMD) as administrator (right click). Do not enter any environment yet.
  2. Install Jupyter (and nb_conda as well as ipykernel to get your environments listed: conda install jupyter nb_conda ipykernel
  3. Activate the environment you want to add to jupyter kernel: conda activate myenv
  4. Install ipykernel in the environment (do this for all envvironemnts you would like to add): conda install ipykernel
  5. To start Jupyter, cd to root (cd .. until you are at C:) then type (does not need to be inside and env): Jupyter noteboook
  6. You might need to confrim that it shall open in a web browser (I use chrome)
  7. Once open in a browser navigate to the folder of your choice, then make a new python 3 file.
  8. Once inside click Kernel -> Change kernel and select the conda env you would like
