  Hello,
  
  Found the problem. There is a definition wrong in "Lines_ckt1.dss". In line 64 there is a line definition as follows:
  
  New Line.139.1 bus1=ACD...
  
  This is incorrect, since the dot character (.) is a reserved character in OpenDSS it cannot be used in element's names. Change "line.139.1" with "Line.139", that will solve the problem.
  
  Best regards
  
  Davis

    Also, you can check in contructor mode the menu Libraries -> TCCCurve.
