Revision history [back]

You should take a look at the dyntools module for pulling out relevant data from a .out file. The matplotlib is also a great module for plotting very similar to Matlab. I use the following to spit out *.png files that contains Frequency, Voltage, and System Angles for each simulation. You can just use this routine (or similar) after the completion of each contingency, or after all contingencies have finished.

# To install matplotlib tool, open command prompt and type the following:
#    C:\python27\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
#    C:\python27\python.exe -m pip install matplotlib

    # Open file and grab data
    chan = dyntools.CHNF(out_file)

    chan_range = chan.get_range()
    titles, ids, data = chan.get_data()
