Startup PSCAD error using Python script #4
Description
The software's presumed reliance on automation scripts, while potentially efficient, presents a perplexing hurdle for dongle users. The unexpected emergence of account authentication halts operation, rendering PSCAD unusable.
A possible solution lies in introducing an authentication toggle within the script's parameters. Specifically, incorporating a "certificate" option, defaulting to "True," in the "mhrc.automation.launch_pscad" function could circumvent this issue. This modification would allow users to bypass the authentication step, enabling seamless PSCAD execution.
pscad_version = 'PSCAD 4.6.3 (x64)'
fortran_version = 'GFortran 4.6.2'
Launch specific PSCAD and Fortran version
pscad = mhrc.automation.launch_pscad(pscad_version=pscad_version, certificate=False)
