Reduced boilerplate for consoleRun()

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:52:07 -0000

Is there a function available which reduces the boilerplate amount for consoleRun()? In the tutorials, compare the amount of code in guiRun() vs. consoleRun().

Shared time axes in plots

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:51:14 -0000

It would be great if, in subplots, the time axes were shared by default, using the sharex kwarg, then all the x-axes would zoom together if zooming in one area, which I figures is what you typically want when examining results.

I already tried to to this with a quick fix, but it turns out that the plotting code should be switched to the pyplot object-oriented interface (i.e. using figure objects), and this was too complex for me. Probably easier for someone familiar with the code.

Relevant code in data_reporters.py L468:
fig, _ = plt.subplots(rows, cols, sharex=True) for i, arg in enumerate(args): '''Loop over arguments: some are variables (each one gets its own subplot) and some are lists of variables, these vars will share a plot.''' axes = fig.add_subplot(rows, cols, i+1)

Add parameter values to HTML/XML reports

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:49:50 -0000

It would be useful if HTML/XML data reports include parameter values. Maybe also min/max of variable values, but I'm not sure if that would be feasible.

Additional variable types

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:48:49 -0000

Two variable types that I found missing (and added myself), may be good to add them to the existing list (not sure about the number values):

```
mass_flowrate_t = daet.daeVariableType("mass_flowrate_t", kg/s,
-1.0e+10, 1.0e+10, 0.0, 1e-05)

molar_mass_t = daet.daeVariableType("molar_mass_t", kg/mol, 0.0, 1.0e+20, 0, 1e-05)
```

We have volume_flowrate and molar_flowrate, but not mass_flowrate. We have moles, molar flux, molar flowrate, molar concentration, but not molar mass.

Suppress banner+license output in console

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:47:43 -0000

It would be great if one could suppress (preferably by default) the license output and greeting banner in the terminal when running daeTools. I think the license terms are already made clear when downloading/installing the software, and these two just pollute the terminal output and have to be manually stripped when keeping the output for logging purposes.

Better formatting for plot labels

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:46:24 -0000

In legends/labels, would be great if the formatting were "Quantity [Units]", not "QuantityUnits" (which leads to labels like "mdotkg/s"), and also if variable names like I_ref were treated not LaTeX-strict (which results in only the r being subscripted), but wrap in braces (which you can't do in the variable names afaik). That way, the whole refcould be underscored (as desired). The wrapping could e.g. go until the next non-character, parsing I_ref-high into I_{ref}-high LaTeX code.

Unit selection for plots

Christoph Buchner — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:42:46 -0000

It would be awesome if daePlotDataReporter.Plot() would allow to specify units to plot, and not take the base units of the variables (e.g. Pa vs. bar). I realise that this is probably too complex to implement, though, so that's definitely "wishlist".
