Transfer from GEONIS to MIKE URBAN using Globalid

Question

Is a transfer from GEONIS to MIKE URBAN using Globalid possible?

Problem

Data can be imported into MIKE URBAN using Objectid; however, it does not work using Globalid.

Solution

• It is basically possible to import the Globalid as MUID: the MUID serves for the unique identification of elements in MIKE URBAN (see graphic below). However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the curly braces around the Globalid may cause problems somewhere in the program.  

• The Globalid currently consists of 38 characters; MIKE URBAN accepts a maximum of 40 characters. If the specification of the Globalid allows more than 40 characters in the future, an import to MIKE URBAN, at least in the current structure, would not be possible.

• Finally, it should be noted that the Globalid feels somewhat cumbersome in MIKE URBAN, for example when shafts are labeled in longitudinal section, or boundary conditions refer to specific elements.
