ETAP Validation

[etapexpert]

Have you Validate ETAP Power system analysis software ? The project where i work is asked to validate ETAP with manual calculation. But i couldnt. If you done in your company, could you upload the file please.

Thank you so much.

( I am not really an expert in etap )

Dear etapexpert
It's really impossible to validate ETAP with manual calculation!!!
As you may know if we have more than 2 bus in a power system, short circuit calculation will be really complicated and it's impossible to do it manually!
Mayeb the man who asked you that, just wants to kidding! or maybe test your general information!

Hi Keyvani,

Thank you.
But there are some methods followed by ETAP.They have to open it which way they arrive shortcircuit calculation.
I have done the shortcircuit calc validation by conventional way.But the result is not matched with ETAP .

Interestingly it calculate some back EMF from load to source and do some power loss also shortcircuit.
I want to know which formula they have followed.

Even in ETAP website they announce validation of ETAP but they show only the answer from ETAP and manual calculation.
why cant they show how the figure got arraived through manual calculation.

I hope it is possible. I hope somebody did it..

I hope i will get if not today but oneday...

cheeer!!!!!!!!!!!
