A. Working with .psout files

The .psout format is a modern, proprietary binary format introduced in PSCAD V5 for storing EMTDC simulation data. It replaces legacy text-based .out files, offering significantly smaller file sizes, faster read/write speeds, and the ability to store multiple, hierarchical simulation runs (including sequential and parallel results) in a single file

.psout files can be viewed from within PSCAD using the PSOUT Reader image

MHI also has a separate tool, Enerplot that can be used for plotting .psout files

For further questions or help, please check if the README or the Quickstart Guides contains the answer.

Otherwise, please contact the Energinet simulation model team: simuleringsmodeller@energinet.dk
