Comparison Errors
Troubleshoot simulation comparison errors in PetroBench. Fix issues when comparisons won't load, show unexpected results, or fail to generate.
Comparison Won't Create
Compare button is grayed out:
- Make sure you've selected simulations (checkboxes on the left)
- Selected simulations must have been run at least once
- You can't compare simulations from different wells
Comparison Won't Run
Stuck on "Running" for one scenario: One of the simulations in your comparison might have invalid inputs. Expand the scenario card and look for validation errors.
All scenarios fail: There might be a shared issue across all scenarios, like an invalid directional survey. Check the base simulation's configuration.
Some scenarios complete, others fail: Each scenario runs independently. A failure usually means that specific scenario has invalid inputs. Check for missing required fields or out-of-range values.
Results Look Wrong
Numbers are identical across scenarios: You might not have actually changed anything between scenarios. Expand each scenario and verify the inputs are different.
Results don't match individual simulation runs: Comparison scenarios are copies. They diverge from the original the moment you start editing them. The comparison results reflect the scenario inputs, not the original simulation.
