CTGElementAppend<br />

The format for this data type is the same as described below for CTGElement, with the exception<br />

that the elements listed in this data section will be added to the existing list of contingency<br />

CTGElement<br />

A contingency element is described by up to four entries. All entries must be on a single line of text.<br />

available.<br />

ModelCriteria: This is the name of a ModelFilter or ModelCondition under which this action<br />

should be performed. This entry is optional. If it is not specified, then a blank (or no criteria) is<br />

assumed. If you want to enter a Status, then use must specify "" as the ModelCriteria.<br />

Status: Three options<br />

CHECK: perform action if ModelCriteria is true.<br />

ALWAYS: perform action regardless of ModelCriteria.<br />

NEVER: do not perform action.<br />

This entry is optional. If it is not specified, then CHECK is assumed.<br />

Comment: All text to the right of the comment symbol (//) will be saved with the CTGElement<br />

as a comment.<br />

by a string enclosed in single quotes where the string is the name of the bus followed by<br />

an underscore character and then the nominal voltage of the bus. These values may also<br />
