U ECE 529
I Analyzing Transients
Lecture 4
 Understand the transient you want to model

 Good data to form detailed models
» Not trivial to get
 Need mathematical model of the system
» Appropriate for the transient you are studying
» Classification of transient important first step
1
U ECE 529
I Installing ATPDraw
Lecture 4
 Installation is fairly easy

 Avoid installation path “Program Files”
 The space in the file name can create
problems running ATP from ATPDraw
» Install it somewhere else. I normally install in
“C:\tools\prog\ATPDraw”
U Running ATP from ECE 529
I ATPDraw
Lecture 4
 Still need a copy of ATP

 Licensed users can get other versions
 Follow installation directions for yours
 ATPDraw calls ATP from a DOS Batch
file (extension *.bat)
» For example, I call it “RUNATP.BAT”
 Passes full path to file when calls ATP
 Easy Installer Creates *.EXE file
2
U ECE 529
I Sample Batch File

Lecture 4
 The following batch file is for Ming32 ATP

SET GNUDIR=C:\tools\prog\atp\
SET PATH=C:\tools\prog\atp;"%PATH%”
tpbig both %1 s -r
The first line defines variable GNUDIR

» Different ATP versions use different name
» Sets program working environment
» The final “\” is important
U ECE 529
I Sample Batch File (cont.) Lecture 4
 Second line adds executable to your search

path (not needed if set this at boot time)
 The next line calls ATP itself
» tpbig both %1 s -R
– “both” tells program to write error messages to screen
and to file (useful for debugging)
– Could also set “disk” to only do disk file or leave blank
for no message
– First “%1” is input data file from ATPDraw
3
U ECE 529
I Sample Batch File (cont.) Lecture 4
– The “s” is to create appropriate output file.

– “-R” tells ATP overwrite existing output file if one
exists
 This bat file will let you run ATP, and all of
the support program (line constants etc)
U ECE 529
I Setting Up ATPDraw
Lecture 4
 Open up ATPDraw
 Select: “Tools” pull down menu
 Select: “Options...”
 Choose “Preferences” tab
» You select a text editor, or use Notepad (default)
» “ATP” is where you set path to your batch file
 Armafit: which we won’t cover in this course
4
U ECE 529
I ATPDraw “Preferences”
Lecture 4
U ECE 529
I Further Settings Lecture 4
 The “Files&Folders” tab settings are ok

 However, you do want changes in the
View/ATP tab
» Select “Edit settings” tab
» You may want to change
some of the default
settings. However, you
can change any of these
for a specific data file
5
U ECE 529
I Simulation Settings Lecture 4
 Default time step (deltaT)

is very small
 Default run time short
 Xopt and Copt ok
 Select “Power Frequency”
» Reset to 60 Hz from 50Hz
» Can mess up some sources
U ECE 529
I Output Settings Lecture 4
 Probably don’t need the

selected “Printout”
options for most cases
 Slow down the program
somewhat
 Plot frequency should be
low and odd.
6
U ECE 529
I Other Settings Lecture 4
 Switch/UM settings ok for most cases (are

for statistical studies only)
 Load flow controls controls how the load
flow initialization is run
 Variables: Use can define parameters
here and pass them different components
» Or control them with Pocket Calculator option
» See help file for more info
U ECE 529
I Saving New Settings Lecture 4
 The “Save” or “Apply” buttons aren’t

sufficient to permanently save change
 Also choose: Tools --> Save Options
 These are all saved into a file called
ATPDraw.ini
» Typically saved in user’s settings
» Could put copy in the directory with
ATPDraw.exe
7
U ECE 529
I Other Settings Lecture 4
 To set other plotting programs or other post

processing options you need to open a file
» Either select the “File|Open” sequence of click on
the icon
» Initial default is the Examples directory, after that
it is the last directory worked in.
» For now, choose example “Exa_1.adp” (*.adp
represents the drawing files).
U ECE 529
I Example 1 Lecture 4
 Try to run
example case
to make sure
program
installed and
set up
correctly
8
U ECE 529
I ATP Menu Lecture 4
 A new pulldown menu is now available at

the top of the window, called “ATP”
U ECE 529
I ATP Menu Lecture 4
 Settings is changes deltaT

etc. for a given case
 “Make File As” generates
ATP data file from drawing
 Run ATP calls your bat file
 Each “Edit” calls text editor
 Make Names, makes node
names for drawing
9
U ECE 529
I Edit Commands Lecture 4
 Allows you to set

additional commands
 Run other ATP versions
» On Current ATP drawing
» On Selected File
 Run plot programs
» On Current PL4
 Use “Update” to set
U ECE 529
I Saving New Settings Lecture 4
 The “Update” buttons isn’t sufficient to

save for next time
 All choose: Tools --> Save Options
10
U ECE 529
I Running an ATP File Lecture 4
 Now we run the example case opened earlier

 Always a multi-step process
» 1) Make file to create ATP data file from drawing.
– Must do this every time you change drawing
– Default is to place this in “ATP” subdirectory under
ATPDraw home directory (with extension *.ATP)
– Can edit this file with “Edit ATP-File” option (not saved
to drawing file)
» 2) Run your case
» 3) Call plotting program
U ECE 529
I Running an ATP File Lecture 4
 The drawing file saved separately (save often)

 Remember to save your changes often
 Default is to save this in the “Project”
subdirectory under ATPDraw
 Note that if want to save elsewhere, need to
select a new home for both ADP and ATP files
» PL4 and *.lis (or *.out depending on version) are
written to same directory at *.ATP file
» Need to cleanup directories periodically
11
U ECE 529
I Making You Own File Lecture 4
 Open a new drawing (from File

menu or from icon)
 Can get the component menu by
right clicking mouse in the
drawing screen
 Each item lets you select
components to create
 More later….
U ECE 529
I Associated Files Lecture 4
 Input Datafile (text file)

» Extension options: *.dat or *.atp (ATPDraw)
» Avoid File Names With Spaces
 Plot Datafile (formatted ASCII)
» Extension *.PL4
 Text Output File (plain text)
» Extension: *.LIS Error Messages in this file
12
U ECE 529
I Associated Files (cont) Lecture 4
 ATPDraw Schematic File

» Extension: *.acp (or *.adp for older versions)
 Supplement Include File
» Use modular programs
» Examples: Line constants output, subsystems
» Extension options: *.pch, *.pun, *.lib
U Creating a File: Text ECE 529
I Based Lecture 4
 Use fixed width fonts with your text editor

» If use MS-Word or Word-Pad make sure use Courier
 Plain text editor better option
» Best if it provides column number
 ATP versions do not perform type checking, use
all upper case letters for variables
 Column alignment is very important
 The ATP rule book refers to individual lines as
data cards

» Plot request data
U ECE 529
I Sections of the Datafile Lecture 4

column 1

user from needing to work at this level
 Still useful to know what is going on at this level
» For Debugging
» If someone sends you an older file
15
U ECE 529
I Comment Cards Lecture 4
 Good practice to have comments in the file

 Comments start with a “C” in column 1 and a blank in
column 2

C *****************************
 ATP allows “in-line” comments. Place comment

between “{ and }’”
 Make sure that you don't block useful data fields

» Possible impact of tertiary
U Low Frequency ECE 529
I Transients Lecture 4
