The contouring diagrams generated at each time point are saved in JPEG format.
Contour File Name Format
The Bitmap or JPEG contouring diagrams are saved using the specified format, which includes
the time point date/time.
Run Pre-Script Command
This option allows the pre-script command to be run Before Applying Input Data or Right After
Applying Input Data. Input data includes any hourly input data and scheduled actions. With either
setting, the pre-script command is applied prior to solving the power flow solution for the time point.
Run Post-Script Command
This option allows the post-script command to be run either Before Storing Results or After Storing
Results. Running the post-script command before storing the results could be useful in situations in
which sensitivity analysis is done based on the solution of the time point and these sensitivities need
to be stored as part of the results for that time point. Running the post-script command after storing
the results could be useful in situations in which a specific control setting was used for the current
time point and needs to be restored to the original setting before moving on to the next time point.
Set Reference Case
The reference case is the case that will be restored when resetting the simulation or starting a
simulation run. The reference case is initially set to be the case in memory when Time Step
Simulation dialog is first opened. If changes are made to the case in memory while the Time Step
Simulation dialog is open and these changes need to be reflected in the reference case, click this
button to set the case that is currently in memory to be the reference case.
