    Open DSS-G needs the labview run time engine does this require a paid licence ? and what modules are needed does not seem to be explained in the user guide. Can you please advise how to get this running.

      Hello,

      You don't need NI LabVIEW (at all) for using OpenDSS-G. If you have doubts about the isntallation process, please check this out:

    Hi Davis
    Thanks for the feedback I had a look at the utube and did a reinstall of OpenDSS-G as I didn't do it under admin rights have done so now. However I still get the attached Labview Run Time Engine request?

      Hello,

      Just checked the installer and yes, there was a runtime component missing. I guess it got out when we upgraded our nI LV installation to 2020. Anyway, the new installer is avaiable for you to download, this time, you shouldn't hav any issue after installing the product.
      Please let me know if it works.
      Thanks for reporting this bug.

      Best regards

      Davis

      Hi Bruce,

      Yes, I guess I forgot to add an option for that, but no worries, you can do it yourself. Open the 'OpenDSS console" using the OpenDSS logo in the middle of the tools palette (the red circle that says DSS), then, type the following command in the opening window:

      set DefaultBaseFrequency=50
      

      After thaat click on execute. That will set your frequency to 50 Hz for the simulation. Additionally, I'll add an option to the configuration window to change the frequency through the GUI.

      Best regards

      Davis

    Hello Davis,

    I am having the same problem, i can't change the frequency to 50Hz. I've tried to set it using the console as you said, but when I execute and run the simulation I don't get any result, as it can be seen in the image attached. What could be the problem? Can there be another way to do it?

    Thanks,

    Andres

      Hi Andrés,

      After using the console with the command "set DefaultBaseFrequency=60", in simulation mode go to Simulation -> compile in the menu bar, or using the tools palette go to program control -> Compile circuit. that should do the job. Also, make sure that in the file called Master.dss you are not setting the frequency back to 50.

      Best regards

      Davis
