PSCAD - Great tool, great customer support

I like that it's open-source so anyone who wants to contribute or use it will be able to do so. Also that they're constantly adding new features and functionality as time goes by and their users are willing to pay them for this service. There isn't much I dislike about using pscad as far as software goes. It seems easy enough even if you've never used any form of CAD before. The only thing i have noticed while using pscad is how slow everything runs compared to what you would get at home with…

Pros
  • That its completely customizable, meaning we could make our own version in.NET c# without having permission from anybody else.Thats really helpful because many companies prefer programming tools instead off graphic rendering apps.,And most importantly there aren’t restrictions when installing such tool which means no need asking permissions prior installation ,Allows us install program anywhere (desktop computer) just download setup files into folder "ProgramData", run
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok

Overall great experience and tool for DSP work

The ability to design an entire project without writing any code! I am designing large scale energy projects that require modeling thousands upon thousands of components such as transformers or generators/motors etc. This software allows me to create all my component designs quickly using standard CAD drawings which saves time over creating them myself. It's not perfect but it does what we want very well so far. We are still learning how best to use this program, however there has been some…

Pros
  • The ability to design an entire project without writing any code!
Cons
  • I dislike that I need to have a solid understanding of both Solidworks and PSCAD before I actually use it

Great Electrical Engineering Software

I like that it has many options available when designing. It's very user friendly as well so anyone could easily use this software without having any problems at all! Not much else but if there was something better out there then i would definitely switch over because nothing about pscad makes me want anything different or dislike what they have got going right now. This program allows us designers who are looking into electrical engineering projects such as substations etc.,to create our…

Pros
  • It's easy to understand how to use and easy to navigate around
Cons
  • It's not very user friendly for the beginner
