- obtaining at least one main overview display;
selecting by an operator an area of the main overview display which it wishes to focus on by at least one of rubber-banding or lassoing the area;
detecting and analyzing a contingency case violation using a reliability assessment module;
displaying an alert when a new violation appears following execution of the contingency case violation analysis;
generating dynamically a contingent tab in the control panel with a list of contingencies impacting monitored elements in violations within the selected area;
cutting and pasting the area into a fly-out;
drawing projection lines to the fly-out; and
interacting with the fly-out to provide the operator with an awareness of a context of situations and information about a reference source of the fly-out;
interacting with the fly-out to display violation markers on the one main overview display; and
updating a monitored elements tab with a list of monitored elements.
