Accuracy Summary

Note: accuracy summary is only available for SL4 (solution) files produced by GEMPACK 9 or later.

If you choose a solution method with extrapolation, ViewSOL displays an accuracy summary showing how many variables are accurate in the levels to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 figures.

There is one summary for accuracy of variables, another for accuracy of data on file. In each case, smiling (or frowning) faces indicate overall accuracy. Click-and-hold on the little key at the bottom of the window to see the whole range of faces.

GEMPACK estimates a rather conservative lower bound on accuracy. In most cases results will be considerably more accurate than is indicated by the summary.

If the simulation is broken into several sub-intervals, ViewSOL will show an overall accuracy summary for variables and no information about data accuracy [WinGEM can read more information from the LOG file].

Acccuracy is measured by an ordinal score 0...10. For each score value there is a corresponding face.
