How can I visually compare experimental data and simulation output ?
In WEST, measurement and simulation data can be plotted on the same plot window. Remark If measurement data are entered in the same input file that is used for the characterization of the influent, WEST will interpolate the missing data points (assuming that the experimental determination are discontinuous), which may not be desirable. Solution It is preferable that one uses one (or more) separate files for the experimental data. The restriction on the number of input file that one can use (to one single file) applies to the input file only, i.e. to the file that contains input data that are used to characterize the influent or that used as input to one of the process units (e.g. temperature, growth rates, etc.). Experimental data that are to be visually compared to the simulation output can be saved in a separate text file and added to a plot window, as follows: 1) Add a new Element to the plot 2) Choose the Point Style (optional) 3) Choose Input File as Data Source 4) Browse to the a
