GeoDexcel allows a deeper analysis of the numerical solver results and generating a variety of charts to graphically characterize structure properties. GeoDexcel automatically loads the result files data in the adequate form into the spreadsheet. The chart type selected by the user is created with GeoDexcel by automatically locating and loading the necessary data among the cells in the spreadsheet.
To use GeoDexcel, Microsoft Excel™ (version 2007 or newer) must be installed on the computer.
For the Dict modules, GeoDexcel offers the following analysis and charting:
- FilterDict: filtration efficiency charts, particle deposition charts, and charts showing the pressure drop evolution during a filter lifetime simulation.
- FlowDict: combination of results from different flow experiments and then, for comparison, plot the average flow velocity in the selected flow direction for all of them.
- MatDict: plotting of the solid volume fraction (SVF), and components analysis.
- PoroDict: plotting of Through Pores, the cumulative geometric PSD and the density of geometric PSD.
- SatuDict: output of capillary pressure curves, the relative conductivity and relative diffusivity charts, and the permeability chart for the non-wetting and the wetting phases.
Macros offer the advantage of:
- automating sequences of operations
- without intermediate user interaction
- with automatic parameter variation
- without intermediate user interaction
- eliminating the error-prone and time-consuming sequential introduction of values, and clicking of buttons, for frequently repeated processes
- documenting and allowing editing of input parameters
- using Record to optionally postpone the execution of sequences of operations for complex parameter studies.
- modifying an isolated parameter in a recorded macro using any text editor
- executing the script without the graphical user interface (GUI), simply as a command line tool
