Are the one-line diagrams easy to build?
We think so! We’ve gone to great lengths to make it easy to build diagrams. You can specify default drawing values for display objects based on object type and nominal kV. These values can also be saved to or loaded from auxiliary files providing continuity when creating multiple diagrams. If you have geographic information regarding the location of the buses in your system, you can automatically insert the buses at the prescribed locations. Then just use Simulator’s built-in features to automatically insert lines, generators, and loads to create the rest of the diagram. Additional features such as the ability to select and format multiple objects simultaneously and the ability to “anchor” objects to buses and lines make it easy to build and modify the diagrams. (When an object is “anchored” to either a bus or a line, moving the bus or line on the diagram causes all the objects anchored to the object to move with the bus/line; this feature is essential when attempting to rearrange obje
