Oneline Animation

An important feature of PowerWorld Simulator is its support of animated onelines. The use of efficient display algorithms allow animation rates that are typically greater than several times per second, even on large cases and on onelines with a significant number of objects. The extensive use of animation makes the display "come alive" so that system conditions can be ascertained more easily.

In Simulator, animation is started from Run Mode by selecting the Play button in the Power Flow Tools ribbon group on the Tools ribbon tab. In Viewer, animation is started automatically when you load a case.

The animation can be controlled and customized from the Animated Flows Tab of the Oneline Display Options dialog. To access this dialog, select Oneline Display Options from the Oneline Options ribbon group on the Options ribbon tab, or right-click on an empty area of the oneline diagram and select Oneline Display Options from the resulting local menu.
