Intermediate Library for PSCAD V5
Last Updated: July 13, 2023
The Intermediate Library is a collection of library models that are being developed post-release. This library, which was initially created starting at v4.6.3, is periodically updated with improvements and new models.
The Intermediate Library for V5 is installed within the example folder, to a location similar to path below. This workspace will load the Intermediate Library and example projects that use the new models.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\PSCAD\<version>\Examples\ModelsInProgress\ModelsInProgress.pswx
Please note that there are no help files for this library because this is in development, but please feel free to use the library and provide any feedback (support@mhi.ca).
