Hello world#

Create spatial maps, summary plots, and cell time series from an SPE11B model.

Run the default command#

Run the following command from the examples directory:

plopm -i SPE11B

Default SPE11B SATNUM plot on the middle xz slice — The default command plots the standard static variables. This figure shows `satnum` on the default `,1,` slice at the final restart step.#

When plopm -v is omitted, plopm plots its default variable set. The default spatial selection is ,1,, which displays the first xz slice.

Plot gas saturation#

Select gas saturation at restart step 4 and customize the colorbar:

plopm -i SPE11B -v sgas -r 4 -cbn 3 -c cubehelix -cbt '[0, middle, 0.9]'

SPE11B gas saturation at restart step 4 — Gas saturation on the default xz slice at restart step 4.#

The command uses:

plopm -v to select sgas.
plopm -r to select restart step 4.
plopm -c to select the cubehelix colormap.
plopm -cbn to use three colorbar ticks.
plopm -cbt to replace the numeric tick labels with custom text.

Plot field gas in place#

Summary quantities are plotted over time rather than on a spatial slice. Plot field gas in place with dates on the x-axis:

plopm -i SPE11B -v fgip -c b -ls dotted -fz 12 -fs 5,5 -lw 4 -tu dates

SPE11B field gas in place over time — Field gas in place plotted against simulation dates.#

Here, plopm -tu selects dates, while plopm -c, plopm -ls, and plopm -lw control the line appearance.

Plot cell values over time#

Select three cells and plot pressure increase relative to the initial pressure:

plopm -i 'SPE11B SPE11B SPE11B' -v 'pressure - 0pressure' -s '1,1,1 41,1,29 83,1,58' -llb 'Top left corner  Middle  Right lower corner' -yl 'Pressure increase at the sensor locations [bar]' -yf .0f -xnt 11 -tu dates

Pressure increase at three SPE11B cells over time — Pressure increase at cells near the top-left corner, middle, and lower-right corner of the model.#

Three indices in plopm -s select one cell over time. The three input entries correspond to the three cell selections. The expression pressure - 0pressure subtracts the initial pressure from each time step.

The legend labels are separated by two spaces. plopm -yf displays pressure values without decimal places, and plopm -xnt sets eleven x-axis ticks.
