I have seen that network module is deprecated. Nonetheless the code is still existed in the latest trunk. I would like to ask if it is safe or possible to use it.
Thanks in advance

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The code does still exist in the trunk and is safe to use. It is primarily included in there and not in the branched release builds because it only works under Windows compiles and only in x86 compiles (no x64). The latest form of the network module is an interface to PowerWorld Simulator, which is why it has the x86 Windows restriction. If you are willing to compile your own version of GridLAB-D from trunk, it should work fine (as far as I know).
I believe there are other projects to incorporate transmission/distribution solvers using GridLAB-D. If the Windows/32-bit restriction is limiting, you may try to track down information on them (or someone may post a reply to this thread).
