Purpose & Description

The purpose of this exercise is to introduce the basic features of the load flow calculation. The alert
views, load flow reports and load flow analyzer should be used to complete this exercise.

Setup
Open project “Load Flow Example-1”. This file should be located within the load flow and panel
directory of the workshop notes

Procedure
1. Model Validation: verify that the following load flow related data has been properly entered
in the model. Please note the data required for running a load flow calculation.
