The EMTP-ATP is a widely used program for the simulation of electromagnetic transients, however, the complexity associated with manual creation of the input file and the need for an operator intervention to model the network in the auxiliary graphics software makes it difficult to use such largescale simulations by utilities. In this work, a system of automatic generation of ATP cards from a database containing the elements of the electrical network to be simulated was developed. The software queries a relational and structured database and formats an ”.atp” extension entry file according to the fixed format of the ATP Rule Book and FORTRAN77 Standard. The results of the simulations obtained with the proposed system were compared to those obtained with ATPDraw and both are equivalent.
