Example


% Create DSS object

DSSObject = actxserver('OpenDSSEngine.DSS')

if ~DSSObject.Start(0),

                    disp('Unable to start openDSS');

                    return

end;

DSSText = DSSObject.Text;

DSSCircuit = DSSObject.ActiveCircuit;

% Compile a model        

DSSText.Command = 'Compile C:\myPath\myModel.dss';

DSSActiveClass = DSSCircuit.ActiveClass;

% Sets class "load" as the active class

DSSCircuit.SetActiveClass("load")

myParent = DSSActiveClass.ActiveClassParent; % returns TPCClas indicating that the parent class is PCE

DSSCircuit.SetActiveClass("line")

myParent = DSSActiveClass.ActiveClassParent; % returns TPDClass indicating that the parent class is PCE
