The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A computer system for converting a computer aided design drawing file of an electrical power system into one or more component objects for power analytic analysis and simulation, is disclosed. The computer system can include a processor, a memory, a display device, and an input device. The memory device can be coupled to the processor and configured to maintain a component classification database, an import engine, computer aided design drawing parser, and a symbol classification engine. The display device can be coupled to the processor and configured for displaying the computer aided design drawing file of the electrical power system. The processor can be operative to execute instructions within the import engine to control the import of the computer aided design drawing file to the computer, execute instructions within the computer aided design drawing parser to control the parsing of the computer aided design drawing file into at least one component object containing a component symbol and execute instructions within the symbol classification engine to control the assigning of a component classification to the component symbol." The patent application was filed on Oct. 8, 2008 (12/247,873).
