SmartMAP Desktop Application Options

Modified on Fri, 7 Jan, 2022 at 1:57 PM

The SmartMAP desktop application allows users to define multiple options to tailor the experience and thresholds to what you prefer. It is accessed by selecting the Globe button in the upper left-hand corner.

1. Convergence

These options are only adjusted if you are having trouble with Load Flow Analysis failing, and can't find out why. Load Flow fails when the result is too far outside of anything possible (extremely high/low voltages or extremely high loading, usually 5X+ what could possibly exist). Here you can reduce tolerance and increase iterations to allow it to converge on some of the impossible situations, which will help it to point you to where the data issue exists.

2. General

a. Map Background Color

When you zoom in beyond level 19, SmartMAP defaults to a white background instead of the street base layer. Here you can change it to a different color

b. Snap Distance

This sets how close you need to click to a node in SmartMAP to have it selected. If you find it not selecting anything when you click, increase this value. If you find it selecting a different node near the one you wanted, reduce it.

Length of time to show tooltips for

When hovering over a node/line in SmartMAP, a tooltip pops up with info on it. Here you set how long it stays on the screen

Auto Save

This will create a backup file of your model. The background saving can cause some computers to slow down during saving of large models. Disabling it will prevent that.

Number of items on Recently Used Files menu

When you open a recent model, it will show this many of the last models you worked with in the list
