Hello all, I was trying to get excel file from an .out file using dyntools, but for a particular .out file, I am having issues. That .out file was built in psse33 version and have thousands of channels. Do any of these can cause issues? I could do the same thing to other .out file successfully. I have no idea why this is happening for this .out file. When I run it, I get message in the shell "Restart:Shell"

Did PSSE crash during the simulation generating the out file?

The out file is often corrupt after a crash. NaN values.

I see! is there any solution to this?

Rerun the simulation, but terminate before the crash.

If you open the .out file with a raw data viewer, you can get a glimpse of the contents. The channel names are in text at the top but the data is of course binary. But you can see the patterns in the data and NaN data has characteristic patterns. (sorry I don't have one handy to demonstrate.)

I use the raw file viewer built into FreeCommander, but ViewAnything is another option. The Hex editor plugin for notepad++ might also do it.
