1. Core Identity: What Plot Manager Really Is
From the ETAP Automation API (via Python or VBA), you can control Plot Manager without opening the interface. Example pseudo-code: etap plot manager
At its simplest, the ETAP Plot Manager is a centralized output management module. But conceptually, it is far more: it is a that decouples result computation from result presentation . Unlike traditional tools where you re-run a study to see updated graphs, Plot Manager stores plot definitions (metadata: what data, on what element, for which study, with what axes) separately from the raw simulation results. But conceptually, it is far more: it is
Run the transient stability simulation once. Results are stored globally. Results are stored globally
Duplicate the plot definitions, point them to a different .rps file (e.g., Results_BaseCase.rps vs Results_WithSVC.rps ). Use the Overlay function to show both curves on one axes.
