Simulator 16 User Guide - PowerWorld

Data Subdata Sections for Display Auxiliary File
The format described in the Data Section works well for most kinds of data in Simulator. It does not
work as well however for data that stores a list of objects. For example, a contingency stores some
information about itself (such as its name), and then a list of contingency elements, and possible a list
of limit violations as well. For data such as this, Simulator allows , tags that
store lists of information about a particular object. This formatting looks like the following:
DATA (object_type, [list_of_fields], file_type_specifier)
{
value_list_1
precise format describing an object_type1
precise format describing an object_type1
.
.
.
precise format describing an object_type2
precise format describing an object_type2
.
.
.
value_list_2
.
.
.
value_list_n
}
Note that the information contained inside the , tags may not be flexibly
defined. It must be written in a precisely defined order that will be documented for each SubData
type.
