The models in a ConceptBase database can be exported in user-defined formats. This tutorial shows how to employ the ConceptBase answer formats and the CBShell to realize the export.
The tutorial uses petri nets as an example to be exported to the format that the GraphViz package required to automatically layout a graph. The GraphViz layout is textual but does not use XML. You can also export to XML but using appropriate answer formats.
We select the CBShell utility for this tutorial. It can be used both interactively and in batch mode. You can thus automate the export via a suitable CBShell script.
