ETAP Plot Manager
After running a Load Flow study, the PlotAnalyzer can visualize results across the network. Open the PlotAnalyzer from the Load Flow toolbar.

: Focuses on multi-study simulation comparison. It allows for unique computations like voltage versus distance plots in load flow studies and provides advanced 3D plots for transient stability analysis. Common Use Cases
: Load results from different projects or multiple studies simultaneously to evaluate variations in system behavior. Template Management ETAP Plot Manager After running a Load Flow
Power system events involve different units of measurement simultaneously. The Plot Manager allows you to overlay different variables—such as plotting on the left Y-axis and Current (Amps) on the right Y-axis—against a shared Time (seconds) X-axis. You can also stack multiple subplots vertically within a single window to compare cause-and-effect relationships. 2. Plot Style Templates
The ETAP Plot Manager is an advanced graphical framework designed to visualize simulation results, transient behaviors, and system study outcomes. It allows engineers to create, customize, and analyze plots from various ETAP modules, transforming rows of numerical data into clear, graphical representations. Plot Tree Hierarchy | 2
Once your plots look correct, click the button. Plot Manager provides several output choices:
: Define and save plot styles (including legends, grid lines, and plot options) as templates to standardize deliverables. Integrated Visualization
The ETAP Plot Manager offers a range of features that make it an indispensable tool for electrical engineers. Some of the key features include:
Toggle between themes for better visibility during presentations or screen captures.
