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:
  1. Histories at one node
     You have to select the node for which you want to export histories.
  2. 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.
