Features and Improvements
- Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): Modified the 3 script commands to have a new optional YES/NO parameter called AllowPartiallySupportedCTG which allows the creation of an interface from a Contingency definition even if some of the ContingencyElement actions are not supported in an interface definition. Previously we would just not create an interface. Setting this option to YES will create actions that are supported and simply ignore other actions.
InterfaceAddElementsFromContingency("InterfaceName, "ContingencyName", AllowPartiallySupportedCTG)
ATCCreateContingentInterface(filter, AllowPartiallySupportedCTG);
CTGCreateContingentInterfaces(filter, MaxOption, AllowPartiallySupportedCTG); - Available Transfer Capability (ATC) Tool: Added a new option for right-click menu on TransferLimiters objects to "Create Contingency Interface for Selection Only Partially Support". In the past when doing this on a contingency which contained actions not supported in an interface, then Simulator would never create an interface. Using this option allows you to create the interface and any unsupported actions are ignored.
- Contingency Analysis Tool: Added a new option for right-click menu on ViolationCTG objects to "Create Contingency Interface for Selection Only Partially Support". In the past when doing this on a contingency which contained actions not supported in an interface, then Simulator would never create an interface. Using this option allows you to create the interface and any unsupported actions are ignored.
- Simulator Automation Server (SimAuto): Modified the SimAuto OpenCase command to ensure it properly parses Linux-style paths (with / characters). This has inadvertently changed to always assume Windows style paths. We highly recommend that users making use of Python use the command to normalize paths to Windows however. This call in Python is
NewPath = os.path.normpath(oldpath_might_have_linux_paths)
