Core Modules (Base Package)
The Base Package is a set of fundamental modeling tools, built-in analysis modules, scripting tools, and engineering device libraries that allow you to create, configure, organize, customize, and manage your system model efficiently.
Core tools allow you to quickly and easily build 3-phase and 1-phase AC and DC network one-line diagrams with unlimited buses (license-dependent) and elements including detailed instrumentation and grounding components. Engineering libraries provide complete verified and validated data, based on equipment specifications published by manufacturers.
