Draft - Users graphically layout a schematic diagram of the system to be simulated using the RSCAD/Draft module. The right side of the Draft screen contains various libraries of power and control system components. To create a schematic, icons are simply taken from the library and pasted onto the Draft Canvas on the left side of the screen. Then the required parameters associated with that model are entered in a pop-up window. Features such as group/ungroup commands are provided for easy on-screen arrangement. The compile process provides preliminary error checking of component parameters and generates the real time code that will be run on the RTDS Hardware.
