Task Sequence for data exchange and sequential task execution
The Task Sequence enables streamlining of repeatable workflows by running a series of configured tasks in order.

The following example shows a simple pipe design Task Sequence, which allocates demands and then relies on basic SQL Queries for sizing pipes, along with one of the included Factory Ruby scripts for re-running the model and loading the results. Finally, a basic summary is generated using an SQL Query:
