4.3. Analysis Tab

After successful completion of the simulation, the Analysis tab provides tools to plot and analyze the solution.

Import data The upper-left frame lets the user specify the output files to analyze. This list of files will be automatically populated by the output files of a successful simulation specified in the Simulation tab.

Surface plot For plots of quantities in 2-dimensions, select an outputfile, and in the surface plot, select a quantity to plot. Clicking Plot will give the spatially resolved color contour plot of the given quantity.

Linear plot For 1-d plots, two options are available: “loop values” and “position”. For “loop values”, a single scalar quantity (e.g. current density, total recombination) is plotted against the values of the looped parameter. Selecting “loop values” automatically selects all output files, and automatically fills in the X data field with the loop values. This is shown in the graphic above.

If “Position” is selected, then a plot of a quantitiy versus position is given. For a 2-d simulation, the position is given by two endpoints of a line (note the position of the endpoints are assumed to be given in units of [cm]). This is specified by the user in the “S data” field. For a 1-d simulation, the “X data” field is automatically set to the entire 1-d grid.
