Etap Plot Manager -
Compare results from different project scenarios or revisions on a single graphical interface.
Standard industry reports require precise formatting. Plot Manager offers tools to customize:
The Plot Manager acts as the bridge between raw simulation engines and the final engineering report. It eliminates repetitive tasks by allowing users to apply global formatting, overlay multiple studies, and batch-export files into professional formats. Key Features and Capabilities
Select the specific component name from your single-line diagram.
A centralized interface to manage, customize, and export all graphical plots generated from simulation results (e.g., time-domain responses, harmonics, device duty, protection coordination curves, and system summaries). etap plot manager
By moving beyond the "quick print" mentality and investing time in mastering pen tables, tiling, and batch plotting, you will not only save hours of manual editing but will also elevate the quality of your engineering deliverables.
Select the equipment category (e.g., Buses, Synchronous Generators, Induction Motors, or Relays) from the device tree. Choose the specific components from the sub-list.
One of the tool's most powerful features is overlay capabilities. You can plot multiple variables on a single chart—such as comparing the voltage dip of three different buses during a fault—or compare results across different simulation runs to validate design changes. 3. Advanced Customization Options
The Plot Manager functions as a dedicated data-visualization suite within the ETAP environment. It eliminates the need to export raw data to third-party spreadsheet software for routine charting tasks. It eliminates repetitive tasks by allowing users to
Directly export charts to formats including PDF, JPEG, PNG, and Metafile (EMF), or transfer the underlying data points straight to Microsoft Excel. Step-by-Step Workflow for Creating and Customizing Plots
Save your plot view configuration within the ETAP project and export the final graphic for your technical report. Advanced Tips for Power Users
