Graphs and Tables

On the Tree View, under the Output Filters folder, you will be able to view the simulation results for various parameters. You will be able to view the results graphically and in tabular format by clicking on the red/blue graph icons. The names that are used to describe the different results will be the same as the output filter names. There are a few preset output filters for you to use, and you will be able to see which filter parameters have been selected by clicking on the icon which resembles three columns. The icons are only visible when you expand the folder, which you can do by clicking on the '+' symbol next to it.

 

 

The results that are shown will be for a chosen set of parameters. You will be able to view results by zone and by zone surface. To change which of the parameters are being displayed, or to create a new set of graphs and tables from scratch, you can create your own output filter or edit an existing one. You can learn more about this process by going to the Output Filters topic.

 

The window has some tabs which are available along the top of the graph, and each tab has been described in its own topic, click on the links below to go to that topic:

The Graphs and Tables screen has the following values:

 

Start Day

The first day for which results will be displayed. This can be a value between 1 and 365. To change this value, double-click in the box so that the current start day is highlighted in blue, and then type a new value. You will also be able to change this value by clicking on the UP and DOWN arrows which are next to the start and end days. You can also click on the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to increase or decrease the start and end days together. So if the start day is 1, for example, and the end day is 2, and you click on the RIGHT arrow, then the start day will be changed to 2, and at the same time the end day will be changed to 3.

 

End Day

The last day for which results will be displayed. This can be a value between 1 and 365. To change this value, double-click in the box, and then type a new value. You will also be able to change this value by clicking on the UP and DOWN arrows next to the start and end days.

 

Output Selection

The output selection for which results will be displayed. Select an option from the drop-down list. You will find more information on this subject by going to the Output Selection topic.

 

ACH

If this option is ticked, then results for infiltration, ventilation, IZAMs, and zone aperture flow will be displayed in air changes per hour. If this option is not ticked, then the results will be displayed in kg/s (kilograms per second).

 

External

If this option is ticked, then zone aperture flow will be taken as the sum of the flow through all of the zone's selected apertures which are exposed to the outside. If this option is not ticked, then zone aperture flow will be the sum of flow through all of the zone's selected apertures.

 

Warning - If a large number of parameters or zones are selected for a time period longer than 7 days, then the graphs and tables will only display values for the first 7 days. The maximum number of parameters and zones that can be displayed for more than 7 days is four.
