StartPDElement
(read/write)
This property sets/gets the full name of the first PDelement for the BranchRemove command (class.name -> e.g. Line.myLine).
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';
DSSReduceCkt = DSSCircuit.ReduceCkt;
DSSLines = DSSCircuit.Lines;
% activates the first line on the list
i = DSSLines.First;
myLine = DSSLines.Name
% set the PDE name for the reduction
DSSReduceCkt.StartPDElement = myLine;
% breaks loops first
DSSReduceCkt.DoLoopBreak();
% merge parallel lines
DSSReduceCkt.DoParallelLines();
% reduce
DSSReduceCkt.DoDefault();
% get the OpenDSS command
myStr = DSSReduceCkt.EditString;
