Simulation Comparisons

Compare up to 5 rod simulations with different configurations to identify the optimal design.

​

Create a Comparison

1. Navigate to your well’s RodSim tab
2. Select one or more simulations using checkboxes
3. Click Compare
4. Review the auto-generated name and description
5. Click Create Comparison

The first simulation becomes the base simulation - your reference point for comparison. It always appears first and can’t be removed.

Add & Manage Simulations

​

Add Simulations

1. Open your comparison
2. Click Add Simulation
3. Select from available simulations
4. Click Add to Comparison

​

Duplicate a Scenario

1. Click the menu icon (three dots) on a scenario card
2. Select Duplicate

​

Remove a Scenario

1. Click the menu icon on the scenario card
2. Select Remove from Comparison

​

Configure Each Scenario

Expand a scenario card to modify:

• Pumping Unit - Select different units per scenario
• Rod String - Modify grades, sizes, taper sections
• Tubing - Adjust anchor settings, pump depth
• Parameters - Set stroke rate, production targets

​

Run the Comparison

1. Click Run Comparison
2. Monitor progress for each scenario
3. Wait for all scenarios to complete

Scenarios run sequentially (base simulation first). Each typically takes 10-30 seconds. If a scenario fails, others continue processing. Failed scenarios show error messages in results.

Re-Running

After modifying scenario configurations:

1. Return to Comparison Inputs
2. Make changes to any scenario
3. Click Run Comparison

Re-running overwrites previous results for all scenarios.
