Menu Tools
- Node finder
Invoking this menu option results in the display of a separate dialog. The
dialog allows you to find the node in the mesh of the current model that is
the closest to a given set of coordinates. For each dimension of the model
both minimum and maximum values are displayed. The target coordinate must be
entered for all dimensions. Pressing the button labeled "Find closest node"
results in the display of the number of the closest node (displayed in red
at the bottom of the dialog window), its coordinates, the distances to the
target coordinates in each direction, and the total distance between the target
point of the mesh and the closest node.
You can repeat this process as many times as you like.
To close this dialog, you need to press the button "Close".
- Species tableau
Invoking this menu option results in the display of a separate window which
contains the stoichiometric coefficients for all chemical species (excluding
the free component species) of the current model. The names of the components
are displayed as headers of the columns. The names of the species are displayed
in the left column. The stoichiometric coefficients are the ones for the
mass action equation as they were entered in the pane
Chemical species
of the input editor.
No editing is possible in this window. It serves merely as a convenient
way of displaying all stoichiometric coefficients in the tableau form
described first by F.M.M. Morel.
- Results exporter
This dialog allows you to export results from an HBGC123D simulation run to
an ASCII file. Please see the note on
postprocessing with HbgcJava.
Two kinds of files can be created within this dialog:
- Histories at one node
You have to select the node for which you want to export histories.
-
All nodes at one time
You have to select the time step for which you want to export data. The
available time steps are displayed in a combo box.
By default, only the node numbers are stored in the output file. If you check
the box "Output coordinates", the coordinates will be included in the file
as well.
The selection for the type of file is made at the very top of the dialog.
You can choose between five column delimiters (comma, space, tab, semicolon,
and colon). If you check the box "Write header line", the first line of the
output file will contain the names of the columns.
You can select for each species individually if you want its concentrations
to be written to the output file. By default, all species concentrations
will appear in the file.
When you have made all settings, click "Export data to file". Enter the name
of the file in the file selector box that will pop up. Since the created files
do not contain any information about the origin of the data, you need to keep
external records about it.
You can export as many data to files with this dialog as you want to. To close
it, you have to click "Close dialog".

Options
Display options for the use of HbgcJava itself (not the HBGC123D model).
Items at this point:
-
"Create log file" - The log file contains the lines
of an HBGC123D ASCII input file that was imported. If you have trouble reading
an input file, this will help you in locating the problem in the input file.
If, for instance, the expected header for data set 20 is not a header line but
contains some data, you know that there is an incorrect number of lines in the
input file. In this case, you will have to consult the User's Guide to
HBGC123D. HbgcJava itself is currently not able to assist the user in
correcting input files. Only valid input files can be read by the interface.
-
"Automatically update Help screen" - If this box is checked, switching to a
different pane of the input editor will automatically update the Help text.
