Documentation and Tutorial
Below are some video tutorials to help you to learn how to use the simulation engine. At the bottom of this page you can find a video reviewing the Doyle-Fuller-Newman model; how it is formulated and what assumptions it contains.
The basic workflow
This video covers how to:
Complete a simulation form
Monitor your job in the queue
Collect results (concise view of results available in the browser, or download for in-depth post-processing)
Revise simulation and resubmit if needed
2. Completing a simulation form - Basics
This video covers how to:
Either begin from a blank form, or use one of our templates
Modifying parameters and simulation settings
Use the option to keep your results private
Submit the simulation
3. Completing a simulation form - Troubleshooting
This video covers:
Modifying parameters and simulation settings
The Terms of Service checkbox
Filling out numerical fields (constant values)
Providing user-defined functions (conductivity, diffusivities, overpotentials)
Understanding possible error messages
4. Completing a simulation form - Advanced features
Here we discuss:
More about modifying parameters and simulation settings
Specifying the times during the simulation at which the user would like to store the state variables
Using spreadsheet software (e.g. Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc)
Specifying the current as a function of time
5. Monitoring your simulation
This video covers how:
Submitted jobs appear in the simulation queue
As soon as processors on the server become available the status advances to running
Finally it moves to finished status when your results are ready to collect
Simulation outputs can be previewed
To use the unique link to the job results
To view a list of all jobs (Simulation Queue page)
Private jobs are handled
6. Collecting and using the results
Here we look at how:
Once the simulation finishes you can see some basic plots of the results by clicking on your job in the queue
Raw output (in the form of text files) can be download in a .zip archive for further post-processing
Raw data can be exported into a spreadsheet software (e.g. Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc, MATLAB, etc.)
To amend and resubmit your job
