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!
