NAME

       compareECL - Comparator for Eclipse files

DESCRIPTION

       compareECL  compares  ECLIPSE  files  (restart  (.RST),  unified restart (.UNRST), initial
       (.INIT), summary (.SMRY), unified summary (.UNSMRY) or .RFT) and gridsizes (from .EGRID or
       .GRID file) from two simulations.  The program takes four arguments:

       1. Case number 1, reference case (full path without extension) 2. Case number 2, test case
       (full path without extension) 3. Absolute tolerance 4. Relative tolerance (between  0  and
       1)

OPTIONS

       In addition, the program takes these options (which must be given before the arguments):

       -a Run a full analysis of errors.

       -h Print help and exit.

       -d Use report steps only when comparing results from summary files.

       -i Execute integration test (regression test is default).

              The integration test compares SGAS, SWAT and PRESSURE in unified restart files, and
              WOPR, WGPR, WWPR and WBHP (all wells) in summary file.

       -k Specify specific keyword to compare (capitalized),  for  examples  -k  PRESSURE  or  -k
       WOPR:A-1H

       -l  Only  do  comparison  for  the last Report Step. This option is only valid for restart
       files.

       -n Do not throw on errors.

       -p Print keywords in both cases and exit.

       -r compare a spesific report time step number in a restart file.

       -t Specify ECLIPSE filetype to compare, (default behaviour is that all files are  compared
       if found). Different possible arguments are:

              -t  UNRST Compare two unified restart files (.UNRST). This the default value, so it
              is the same as not passing option -t.

              -t EGRID Compare two EGrid files (.EGRID).

              -t INIT Compare two initial files (.INIT).

              -t RFT Compare two RFT files (.RFT).

              -t SMRY Compare two cases consistent of (unified) summary files.

       -x Allow extra keywords in case number 2. These additional keywords  (not  found  in  case
       number1) will be ignored in the comparison.

Example usage of the program:

       compareECL  -k  PRESSURE  <path  to  first  casefile>  <path to second casefile> 1e-3 1e-5
       compareECL -t INIT -k PORO <path to first casefile> <path to second  casefile>  1e-3  1e-5
       compareECL -i <path to first casefile> <path to second casefile> 0.01 1e-6

       Exceptions  are  thrown  (and  hence  program  exits)  when deviations are larger than the
       specified tolerances, or when the number of cells does not match --  either  in  the  grid
       file  or  for  a specific keyword. Information about the keyword, keyword occurrence (zero
       based) and cell coordinate is printed when an exception is thrown.  For  more  information
       about how the cases are compared, see the documentation of the EclFilesComparator class.
