Creating a New Case Project

Press the New button in the PSCAD tab of the ribbon control bar.

 

 

Enter a name for the project, as discussed in the section entitled Creating a New Project.  

 

A new project will appear in the workspace window.  Right-click on the project name and select Project Settings....

 

 

This action will open the Project Settings dialog.  Click the General tab at the top of the dialog, left-click inside the Description field and type a description for the case, say, 'Voltage Divider'.

 

  

Click the Runtime tab and get familiar with the inputs displayed therein (see Runtime for details on parameters).

 

 

The project will be automatically set up with a run duration of 0.5 seconds with a 50 ms time step by default (these settings are sufficient for now).  Click the OK button.  The description you entered should now appear in the workspace primary window as part of the project name display.
