Completing a STRT when GE wind Models are used

Has anyone been able to run a STRT in the UI? or a STRT_2() via PSSPY in Version 34.4.0 while the GE "Vendor Specific" models are being used in the SNP file?

Every time I run a strt with those models in use (GEWTGCU1, GEWTECU1, etc...) PSSE crashes! If I disable the models and the associated machine in the powerflow then everything works as expected.

Has anyone else had success using these models? what is the secret?

UPDATE: by setting the GEWTGCU1 model status to 'off' in dynamics the strt will complete. But with that model online, then PSS/E will crash. Thinking this is a PSS/E bug.

I haven't used GE models before. Usually, I check if the wind farm is modeled well in loadflow condition, whether it checks in Wind Machine Control Mode, any problem with the reactive power and voltage in loadflow. Then, I check INITIAL CONDITION CHECKING if it's available. Hope that helps.

You can share with me about this GE Model (GEWTGCU1, GEWTECU1, etc...), I am simulating dynamic for wind turbine.
