How ToWebAnalyze Results

Analyze Results

Visualize, compare, and export simulation outputs.

Time estimate: 15 minutes

Goal

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to:

  • Navigate the results viewer
  • Compare multiple runs
  • Export run outputs

Accessing Results

From a Run

After a simulation completes, click View Results to open the results viewer.

From the Dashboard

Navigate to Runs to see all your simulations. Click any completed run to view results.

Results Viewer

The results viewer typically has three main parts:

Time Series Plot

The main visualization showing variable values over time when a run returns chartable series.

Interactions:

  • Hover: See exact values at any time point
  • Click legend: Toggle variable visibility
  • Drag: Zoom into a region
  • Shift+drag: Pan the view
  • Double-click: Reset zoom

Variables Panel

Lists available outputs for the current run. Depending on the model, this may include species, state values, classifier outputs, or other named series.

MetricDescription
MinMinimum value during simulation
MaxMaximum value during simulation
FinalValue at end of simulation
MeanAverage value over time

Click any variable to highlight it in the plot.

Run Info Panel

Shows run configuration:

  • Lab or model name
  • Duration and output points
  • Modified parameters
  • Start and completion time

Working with Variables

  1. Click series in the legend to hide or show them
  2. Use the variable list to focus on the outputs you care about
  3. Rerun with fewer tracked outputs if the chart is too noisy

Start by isolating one or two outputs. Comparison is much easier when you remove unrelated series first.

Comparing Runs

Side-by-Side Comparison

  1. From the Runs page, select multiple runs (checkbox)
  2. Click Compare
  3. Runs appear in synchronized panels

Overlay Comparison

  1. Open a run’s results
  2. Click Add Run
  3. Select another run to overlay
  4. Variables from both runs appear on the same plot

Comparison tools can vary by account or workspace, but the core workflow is the same: start from one run, add another, then inspect the same outputs side by side.

Exporting Data

Export Formats

FormatBest ForContains
CSVSpreadsheets, data analysisTime column + all variables
JSONProgrammatic accessFull metadata + data

Exporting Steps

  1. Click Download button
  2. Select format
  3. Choose options, if the UI exposes them
  4. Click Export

Analysis Tips

Finding Steady States

  1. Run for long duration
  2. Check if final values stabilize
  3. Compare min/max to final values

Identifying Oscillations

  1. Look for repeating patterns
  2. Use linear scale for amplitude comparison
  3. Measure period from peak to peak

Parameter Sensitivity

  1. Run with default parameters
  2. Increase/decrease one parameter by 10%
  3. Compare: which outputs changed most?

Best Practices

  1. Document observations: Note key findings for each run
  2. Save interesting configurations: Keep the lab and rerun it with explicit parameter changes
  3. Export raw data: Keep CSV exports for reproducibility
  4. Use meaningful names: Rename runs with descriptive titles
