Buses can be categorised by a ZONE, AREA or OWNER. What is the significance of the OWNER field? How does a financial arrangement such as ownership impact on your power system analysis?

I want to install PSSE on a computer without windows. Is that possible? How did you do it?

I have been given a raw file from one of our customers and it is version 29. How can I open it with Python in Version 32? Thanks

Is it possible to move points on a slider diagram using Python? I want to have my slider diagram automatically created for me.

The grow bus functionality draws them in such a mess!

Hi I have three buses [20304, 20305, 20306] that I need to transfer from zone 1 to zone 3. How do you transfer zones for more than one bus at a time?

The only thing I'd add is that the `subprocess32` module has the option for a timeout parameter which would catch a class of error where the program hasn't exited (i.e. Still running) but is waiting for user input (Hung).

Hi there was an answer here: https://psspy.org/psse-help-forum/question/1017/error-checking-while-running-faults-in-a-loop/?answer=1070#post-id-1070

that referenced checking PDEV and ODEV output for problems in a dynamic simulation before checking the actual simulation results.

I'm curious, what do you check for?

I love this idea, what is an example of something suspicious you'd see in the logs? < I'll ask a dedicated question.

Sometimes I have difficult to track down bugs in my Python for PSS/E scripts. The solutions don't match what I expect is physically happening. How do you quickly track down bugs in your code?

@Madje this is for you

(edit) I was thinking about this question: http://psspy.org/psse-help-forum/question/329/how-do-i-change-the-loads-on-psse/ It doesn't get you all the way there yet. (No reading from Excel and no changing machine data)

I saw some information about doing exactly this kind of work. I'll see if there was a script that did this already.
