Creating a Module from a Selection - PSCAD v5.1.0
In this video, we demonstrate how to use the new Automatic Page Module Creation tool in PSCAD v5.1.0 to declutter and organize your simulation projects.
This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on collapsing complex circuit selections into independent, reusable modules, including how the software automatically handles port mapping and parameter bridging.
Key Topics Covered:
00:17 Collapsing a Selection into a Module – How to select components and instantly generate a module using the Ribbon Control Bar.
01:03 Inspecting the Module Content – Viewing the new module definition and verifying that all internal components and tags were mapped correctly.
01:52 Signal Transfers and Module Parameters – A deep dive into how PSCAD automatically configures import/export tags and links them to external parameters for seamless signal flow.
05:01 Verification & Run – Ensuring simulation integrity by executing the case and confirming that plot waveforms remain identical to the original layout.
