2021-11-05 10:37:54 -0500 marked best answer Why there are so many ratings?

Hello ! I understand that the ratings are for specifying thermal limits in the branches or the transformers, but why do we have 12 ? Wouldn't just one be enough ? Thanks for any insights on this matter, regards !

2019-06-18 05:29:57 -0500 marked best answer Explanation about CONEC and CONET subroutines

I cant grab what these subroutines are ment to do, or how do I use them. I know they are realted to the libraries .dll, but for the matter I dont actually understand what they do neither (I know I can create these libraries, but I dont know how or what do I use them for). Can anyone here do me a ELI5 explanation about them ? Thanks, regards

2019-05-20 11:46:58 -0500 asked a question ERROR in compiling dynamic library

Hello! I am having these issue where I cannot create the userdll. I have created the conec and conet, added the lib and yet I'm having this error: fatal error LNK1120: 12 unresolved externals ERROR during link(1)... Aborted

I suspect the lib could've been made for version 32, and because Im running version 34 Iam having these problems. What do you think? Thanks

2019-05-20 11:37:40 -0500 commented question PATH error in dynamics studies

I solved it. I have the PSSE Version 34 and I found in the folder C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\psse_env_manager the guide PSSE Environment Manager.pdf where it says that for this versin I needed to install de IVF 13 (Not the 19 as I had try previously) and the Visual Studio 13 (not the 17).

2019-05-14 13:05:15 -0500 asked a question PATH error in dynamics studies

Hello! While trying to compile the dsusr.dll with version 34 and IVF 19.0.203 I'm having the following error: ------------- PSS(R)E 34 Environment settings

Fortran PATH paths: None

Visual Studio PATH paths: None

Fortran LIB paths: None

Visual Studio LIB paths: None

Failed to add VS and Compiler paths to local PATH and LIB environment. Traceback (most recent call last): File "psseenvmanager_gui.py", line 1965, in OnIVFSelectBtns KeyError: 'latest'

I tried to add Visual Basic 2017 to the Path but it didn't work, and in regards to the fortran compiler, I don't know where is located. Any help will be much appreaciated. Thanks, regards

2019-02-22 10:34:18 -0500 commented answer How to print the sld file neatly, with flow arrows and such ?

Just tried printing to PDF and it did the trick :) Thank you so much !

2019-02-21 09:11:32 -0500 asked a question How to print the sld file neatly, with flow arrows and such ?

I work with someone remotely who sends these neats PSSE oneline diagram in PDF and they are so clean, they have the power flow arrow, nice and spaced data, and even the buses are presented differently. Here I attach a link to one of these images as a sample of what I mean: https://imgur.com/oQko7BR (zoom in to see it in all its glory). How do I do this ? Is there a command to have this printed out in a jpg format? (Im aware of psspy.exportimagefile(), but this is not what this guy is doing). Thanks !

2019-01-14 11:39:15 -0500 answered a question import psspy

At the beggining of the code you need to have something like this :

#import standard libraries
import os, sys
#add psspy to the path
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSBIN")
os.environ['PATH'] = (r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSBIN;"
                      + os.environ['PATH'])
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY27")
os.environ['PATH'] = (r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY27;"
                      + os.environ['PATH'])

#imported libraries for psse
import psspy
from psspy import _i
from psspy import _f
from psspy import _s
import redirect

It doesnt necessarily has to look like this, but check your folders and try in every folder related to psse and python til you find the one which contains the psspy. In my case the standard code didnt work in all my computers, but after trying many directories (folders) I was able to make it work everytime.

2018-11-23 09:17:49 -0500 commented question Autodrawing the system neatly

SOLVED: I needed to check the box "Use available geophysical information when Autogrowing items", that is located in the Program Preferences, in the Edit tab.

2018-11-23 09:00:24 -0500 asked a question Autodrawing the system neatly

Hello ! I am trying to improve the autodrawing method by using the .loc file (bus location file). I have built a nice diagram by hand and then I have exported the location of the buses to a .loc file using the API exportbuslocfile(), and then I have tried to replicate that neat diagram using the autodraw function, which I understand takes in account if a .loc file has been opened by the user using the API openbuslocfile(). The problem is, when I use autodraw to try and draw the diagram as I did by hand, it doesnt care about the .loc file I just opened, and it just draws the systeam as it would do normally (a f*mess). I also tried to use the code provided by rimux here https://psspy.org/psse-help-forum/que... but to no avail, its also quite messy, but not as much as before. Any solutions you have find to the autodraw problem ? thanks !
