plot will be drawn. When creating a plot for only one contingency the behavior is identical as
described in Section 6. You may also check the box Plot Multiple Contingencies which will modify
the behavior of plotting. When doing this you should then click the button Choose Contingencies
to Plot which brings up a list of all the Transient Contingencies defined in the case. This is all
depicted in the following figure.
On the list of contingencies there will be five new columns with values that may be specified and
whose affect is described as follows. Setting Show to YES will cause plot series for that contingency
to be generated. If a plot has 10 subplot series inside of it and you choose to show results for 4
transient contingencies, then the resulting chart will contain each of those 10 plot series for each of
the 4 contingencies and thus contain 40 plot series. Changing the Plot Color will allow each plot
series for that particular contingency to use this color, overriding what was specified with the plot
definition. Similarly the Dashed, Thickness, and Point Symbol may be changed with the resulting
attribute applied to all plot series for the particular contingency overriding what is specified with the
plot definition.
In this way you can generate a plot showing multiple traces from multiple transient contingency
simulations. An example is shown below of a state space plot for two different faults, with a different
color used for each contingency.
