UserEvent, run outside simulation run only once

Hello I would like to run a User Event only once, I have a function that builds a 3d model with objects size, location etc. I want to run this only one time to create the virtual model. I guess its possible to have a processflow that does all this and then "disconnect" it. But this processflow/model is supposed to be used several times for several projects so it would be nice if there is a way to run this processflow by "choice". By writing a i.e "CreateModel" or a button, etc.


Right now I run this on simulation starts and all works as intended but I need to manually change the processflow after my first run to not clear and rebuild the model every consecutive run.

regards

You can let execute a script on a loading event. A condition can be set, that it gets evaluated only if a tree node value allows it. If this script has been done, you set this node value to disallow any further execution.

You can also put the script into a treenode in an object, that you control by flags to hide it visually and make it not selectable.

Use the OnModelOpen trigger to do as Jörg suggests.

You can also add a button to a dashboard and assign the code to this button

We solved it by reading a condition from a table with a codesnippet in Process Flow, we did not fully solve it with this way
