ATPDraw p6

ATPDraw p6 is a Windows-based graphical editor and preprocessor for the ATP/EMTP simulation engine, used to model and analyze electromagnetic transients in electric power systems. It enables users to build circuit diagrams with drag-and-drop components, set parameters, and automatically generate ATP input files for time-domain simulations. The tool supports modeling of lines and cables, transformers, rotating machines, surge arresters, power-electronic converters, and control/measurement blocks, making it suitable for studies such as switching and lightning surges, insulation coordination, protection performance, ferroresonance, and HVDC/FACTS interactions. ATPDraw p6 is geared toward power-system engineers, researchers, and students who need an efficient workflow from schematic creation to transient analysis and results review with external plotting tools.

Highlights:

• Graphical schematic capture for ATP/EMTP with an extensive component library
• Parameter editing, subcircuit/macromodel creation, and reusable templates
• Automatic generation of ATP netlists and support for control modeling (e.g., TACS/MODELS)
• Workflow designed for transient studies in transmission, distribution, and industrial systems
• Suitable for education and research, as well as engineering studies
