Features and Improvements

  • Contingency Analysis Tool: (1) Added new option under the Other > button and then Manage Contingency Definitions called "Set Selected Field for Remedial Actions and Dependencies."
    (2) Added two new options on the local menu of the Remedial Action case information display: (a) "Set Selected Field for Dependencies" and (b) "Set Selected Field for Dependencies (only selected records)".

    All of these options are meant to help identify the Model Filters, Model Conditions, Model Planes, and Model Expressions that are being used by user specified Remedial Actions and NOT used by other objects. If for example a user specified Remedial Action is using a Model Filter and a Transient Stability Contingency Element also is using that Model Filter, that Model Filter will NOT have its Selected field set to YES. At the beginning of the implementation of each of these options the Selected field is set to NO for all Remedial Actions, Model Filters, Model Conditions, Model Planes, and Model Expressions. In the descriptions below "dependencies" will mean objects of type Model Filter, Model Condition, Model Plane, or Model Expression.
    Option (1) will check all Remedial Actions in the case and set the Selected field to YES for any dependencies of the Remedial Actions. The Selected field for Remedial Actions will also be set to YES.
    Option (2a) will check all Remedial Actions that are shown in the Remedial Action case information display. This might be a subset of all Remedial Actions if filtering is in use. The Selected field will be set to YES for any dependencies of these Remedial Actions and the Selected field for these Remedial Actions will also be set to YES.
    Option (2b) will check only the Remedial Actions that have been selected in the Remedial Actions case information display by using the mouse. The Selected field will be set to YES for any dependencies of these Remedial Actions and the Selected field for these Remedial Actions will also be set to YES.
  • User Interface Dialogs: Added dropdown on Model Expression dialog to change the key field identifier to use for variables on the dialog. This option only affects the key field identifier to use for this dialog and does not impact the setting used with case information display options.
  • Bug Fixes

    • File Formats: Fixed a bug that would prevent a PTI CON file from loading.
    • GIC: Allowed XFConfig to work with primary and secondary fields, both for display and pasting.
    • Oneline Diagrams: Added options with right-click menus to format oneline fields while in Edit mode if only a single field is selected. Previously this could only be done if more than one oneline object was selected.
    • Transient Stability: Fixed change from August 8, 2019 patch that was preventing the modal analysis signal dialog from showing.
    • Transient Stability: Fixed bug that was preventing the modal analysis Iterative Matrix Pencil from working.
