Parametric Plotting with Multiple Y variables

Flotools has added the option to have multiple Y variables when plotting parametric plots in the 2.3 release. This feature gives new flexibility in how one can visualize results, especially when comparing the effects of independent variables on multiple calculated variables over a wide range of cases. An example of a typical use case for…

Combine / Split a branch route

Profile plots include a Combine option to merge a branch route into a single branch for a given variable. This reduces the total number of series present in a plot, making not only the visualization and customization of the combined series simpler, but also the result analysis more straightforward to the engineer. Should the user…

LedaFlow functionality support

Up to now, the Plotting Dashboard has been the workhorse tool to post-process OLGA simulation results in flotools. This new major addition provides users the ability to post-process LedaFlow simulations as well. flotools being agnostic to the type of transient multiphase flow simulator, its user interface offers the same options and user preferences to customize…

Using subscripts/superscripts in flotools

When creating plots in flotools, at times there is a need to use subscripts / superscripts on axis or figure titles in flotools, e.g., to include chemical formulas such as CO₂ or H₂S in the title of a plot. Even though there is no direct support to superscript or subscript any arbitrary set of characters…

What’s new in flotools 1.4

flotools 1.4 represents a major improvement in plot viewing and editing that addresses a number of pain points and feedback items we’ve received over the past few months.  We’ve carefully redesigned the experience to make it easier than ever for flow assurance engineers to create and export report-ready plots.  This post describes the following significant…
