Problem simulating cable
Hi, I am trying to run a simulation using a pipe-defined cable containing 3 conductors. This cable is called "CableLarge", containing cable "CableModelLarge". Every time I run the simulation, I get this error: Type Id Component Namespace Description MMC_converter_v7 Solve Time = 969ms MMC_converter_v7 ERROR: DSLINT Transmission Line Data MMC_converter_v7 ERROR: Abnormal termination of EMTDC by OUTMSG MMC_converter_v7 Non-standard Messages: Abnormal program termination. MMC_converter_v7 EMTDC Runtime Error: abnormally terminated MMC_converter_v7 Simulation stopped.
The problem is further described in the Runtime Messages tab:
