Introduction#

plopm is a lightweight command-line tool for visualization and postprocessing of OPM Flow geological models.

It can generate:

  • two-dimensional maps of static and dynamic quantities;

  • summary plots and comparisons between simulation cases;

  • PNG figures and GIF animations;

  • CSV data for further analysis;

  • VTK files for three-dimensional visualization.

Basic usage#

A typical command selects an input case, a variable, and a model slice:

plopm -i SPE11C -v pressure -s ,1,

This command plots pressure on the plane at j=1 and writes a PNG to the current directory.
