How do I use the Analysis module?

Could we create a tutorial with examples?

Examples for all the functions are now available in the Tutorial section. Please follow this link to take a look.

Can I see if the features increased or decreased the temperature? I guess the friction factors would increase temperature, but I can't verify this from the analysis.

Also, can the analysis be applied along the string, to see what effects are giving the temperature at a given depth?

[jcamiloangarita]

There are three main factors in the temperature variation (mud circulation, formation temperature and heat source terms, check the param_effect function). The formation temperature and heat source terms are always providing heat to the well (these two factor only cause temperature increase), meanwhile the mud circulation itself involves the displacement of colder fluid from the surface reducing the well temperature. Fluid friction and pipe rotation are features that generate the heat source terms, their influence can be calculated using the hs_effect function.

Sure, this analysis could be applied for a given depth, this is a very good point to create a new function for the analysis module 💯

The function param_effect has been modified. Now it is possible to determine the measured depth to be analyzed, as simple as an input for the fraction of the length (e.g. md_length=0.3, for the 30% of md from the wellhead)
