Documentation request: Include example Jupyter notebook for load flow or transient simulation

[sibyjackgrove]

Versions

• Python version: 3.6
• Python architecture: x64
• Operating system and version: Windows 10
• OpenDSSDirect.py version number: v0.3.4

Feature Request

Please include an example Jupyter notebook that shows how to do a load flow or transient simulation for a simple test system. It would be very helpful for new users to easily start using the package and understand the API.

Thanks for posting here. As a first suggestion, you can pass any OpenDSS command to the run_command function in OpenDSSDirect.py.

import opendssdirect as dss
dss.utils.run_command("""
Redirect ./path/to/circuit.dss
Solve
New Load.Load123 kW=30
Solve
""")

So if there's an example of doing what you want in OpenDSS, you can try it with OpenDSSDirect.py.

I'll add more examples as notebooks.

Thanks, I'll try these commands out.
