Do not waste time customizing axes and colors for every new project. Once you design a perfect plot layout, save it as a . For future projects, simply load this template to instantly apply your preferred formatting to entirely new simulation datasets. Multi-Scenario Comparison
Instead of forcing engineers to manually create graphs for every individual bus, motor, or generator, the Plot Manager automates this process. It allows users to view, compare, format, and batch-print multiple plots simultaneously, acting as the bridge between raw simulation data and professional engineering reports. Key Features and Capabilities 1. Centralized Output Management
Plot transformer inrush currents, RMS current profiles, and machine responses over time to analyze system dynamics, as shown in ETAP's Transient Stability Study examples .
: The "Live Charts" feature allows you to overlay current study results with previous simulations on the same plot to immediately see the impact of system changes. Automated Layouts etap plot manager
The Plot Manager organizes data hierarchically by device type.
You can visualize results from virtually any ETAP analysis module, including Load Flow, Short-Circuit, Transient Stability, Arc Flash, Motor Acceleration, Harmonics, and Protection Coordination (TCC curves).
Manually saving dozens of plots is highly inefficient. The Plot Manager allows you to select a group of plots and export them simultaneously to various formats, including PDF, Metafile (WMF), Enhanced Metafile (EMF), and Excel-compatible data formats. Step-by-Step Workflow: Using the Plot Manager Do not waste time customizing axes and colors
The ETAP Plot Manager’s utility spans various phases of an electrical power system project. Below is a summary of its key applications.
Tell you are best for specific simulation types (e.g., Load Flow, Short Circuit)
: Users can customize plots and diagrams according to specific project requirements. This includes adjusting symbols, line styles, colors, and adding text or logos. By offering robust customization
ETAP Plot Manager is an indispensable tool for power systems engineers. While the simulation engines do the heavy lifting regarding physics and calculations, Plot Manager provides the necessary lens to interpret that data. By offering robust customization, multi-scenario overlays, and intuitive data handling, it transforms complex simulation outputs into clear, defensible engineering evidence.
