Simulator applications such as ATC and OPF use a hierarchical scheme where Consolidation takes place only at the beginning of the numerical solution process. Consolidation in lower functions takes place only if it has not taken place already in higher-level functions.
Following completion of the application, de-consolidation occurs in the function level in which the consolidation originally occurred. This process is very similar to the one described for solving the power flow using integrated topology processing. There can be some exceptions to this when using Contingency Analysis. The Contingency Analysis Using Integrated Topology Processing topic provides more details on this.
Once the input data is set in the Full-Topology Model fields, the applications work in the same manner as with regular Planning Cases.
