Hi FME Community,

I came across this presentation from the 2017 FME User Conference on integrating GIS data into PSS®SINCAL:

https://fme.safe.com/presentations/pss-sincal-network-modelling-from-gis-data-using-fme/

From what I understand, the workflow relies on a custom FME process combined with a third-party DLL to generate and populate the SINCAL database schema.

I’m currently exploring a similar use case (GIS → electrical network modeling in SINCAL), and I’d like to ask:

  • Has anyone implemented a more recent workflow for integrating FME with PSS®SINCAL?
  • Are there any newer approaches using FME (e.g., PythonCaller, APIs, CIM, etc.) instead of direct database writing?
  • Is there any official or community-supported FME reader/writer for SINCAL available today?

From what I’ve seen, recent SINCAL versions seem to favor API-based or CIM-based integration rather than direct database manipulation, but I’d be very interested to hear if anyone has practical experience using FME in this context.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi ​@aryaputra04,

    Thank you for posting your question on the FME Community! I don’t believe there are any newer documented FME and PSS®SINCAL workflows beyond that presentation.

    The newer approaches you mentioned are theoretically possible but none have been documented as a working integration, so we wouldn’t be able to provide any guidance there.

    However, I encourage you to click this link and submit an idea capturing your use case for more modern PSS®SINCAL integration in FME. Other FME Community users can upvote ideas, and our product team reviews them for future inclusion in FME.
