nv.AIM MBAL start page
The nv.AIM MBAL module start page consists of two areas — the model tree and the model workspace.
The model tree contains the following controls:
Hide/show model tree![]()
Used to enlarge the workspace for working with models;
Create new model![]()
Used to create new models in the project;
Clone selected model![]()
The button is inactive by default; to clone a model, select a model in the tree. This function is used to create, configure, and run calculations on a model when the original model must not or cannot be changed;
Delete selected model![]()
The button is inactive by default; to delete a model, select a model in the tree;
Rename selected model![]()
The button is inactive by default; to rename a model, select a model in the tree.
The model tree displays models of different types — decline curves (Decline Curve) and material balance models. For convenience, models are grouped by type.
By default, the model list is collapsed. The
button expands the model list.
The following controls are available for each model:
Load model![]()
Clicking loads the model to view all model properties and parameters. Model editing is not available;
Enter edit mode![]()
Clicking opens access to edit models;
Exit edit mode![]()
Available only in edit mode.
In edit mode, the row with the model displays the login of the user who is currently editing. While a model is being edited, other users can open the model only in read-only mode and cannot run calculations or make any changes to the model.
Exiting edit mode is accompanied by a popup with the following controls:
- Save – all model changes are saved.
- Don't save – changes are not saved; the model remains in the state it had before editing.
- Cancel – exiting edit mode is not performed.
