Docking Windows

• Project Tree - contains all application objects in a tree structure.
• Property Editor - displays all properties for the selected object in the Project Tree
• Process Monitor - displays output from Octave when executing Octave scripts
• Result Info - displays info for the object being hit in the 3D scene when clicking with left mouse button

TIP: A new project tree and property editor can be added from Windows->New Project and Property View.

3D Views

In the main area of the application, several 3D views can be open at the same time. One of them will be active and the active view can be either maximized to use the whole main area, or normalized so that you can see all the open 3D views.

TIP: To see views next to each other select the Restore down icon in the application show here for Windows :

Editing the views

Most of the settings and features of ResInsight is accesible through the Project Tree and the Property Editor. Selecting an item in the Project Tree activates the corresponding 3D View, and shows the Items properties in the Property Editor, available for editing.

Toggling a checkbox next to an item in the Project Tree will toggle visibility in the 3D view. Toggling a checkbox for a collection of items will toggle visibility for all items in the collection.

Context menu commands are also available, to do special operations on a selected set of items.

Cases and their types

A Case in ResInsight means a Grid model with a particular set of results or property data. There are
three different Case types:

Result case

This is a Case based on the results of an Eclipse analysis, read from a grid file together with restart data.

Input case

This Case type is based on a *.GRDECL file, or a part of an Eclipse Input file. This Case type supports loading single ascii files defining Eclipse Cell Properies, and also to export miodified property sets to ascii files.

Statistics case

This is a Case type that belongs to a Grid Case Group and makes statistical calculations based on a set of source cases available.

Grid Case Group

A Grid Case Group can be created from a selection of binary files, or manually by assigning cases using the user interface of ResInsight.

Importing data
