How can I access the time via OPC for Quasi Dynamic Simulation?

Answer
The Quasi Dynamic Simulation can be remotely connected via OPC to (for example) a SCADA system. In this case the current time stamp of the study case may be needed. There are two solutions available:
1. Create a StaExtdatmea object, select the used study case on the "Post-processing" page as Object. Enter e:iStudyTime as Variable Name.
2. If different study cases will be used, then the attached approach via a small QDSL model can be used. The QDSL model takes dynamically the active study case, read its time and makes the time available via c:Time. This can then be accessed via a StaExtdatmea object.
