With this function it is possible to copy sequences of operations from the switch order or the operating order. It is also possible to create and try the switchings in the simulation. The simulation contains a number of useful functions. By using this function it is thus possible to simulate operations without any affect on the current switch state. The dynamic coloring is updated by each simulated operation. Affected customers are reported for each operation.

You can also work with the Planned time field in the simulation, which can be useful when planning outages. For simulation of existing operations in outages or operating orders, planned time can be entered in the respective operation's attribute form, these times are then brought to the simulation dialog. When adding new operations to a simulation, planned time can be entered when selecting objects in the map or schedule. By default, the Planned time column is not displayed in the simulation dialog, press to select which columns to display.

 

The function to simulate operations is accessed in two ways:

 

Via Operator -menu

1.Select Operator > Simulate operations.... The dialog Simulate operations opens.

 

Via east panel

1.Select Outages in the south panel and select the operating order row for which you want to simulate operations.

2.The operating order row that has been selected appears in the east panel under Operating order > Operation rows.

3.Select one of the operation rows and press Simulate Operations . The dialog Simulate operations opens.

 

The dialog Simulate operations

1.Select the row you want to simulate the operation for and press Execute the next operation .

After the simulation is completed, it is possible to save a simulation from the simulation dialog by pressing Save and to open a previously saved simulation by pressing Open.
