After computing a Simulation, you can review results in many different forms. Compute Messages provide information about each step of the computation process. Plots and Tables in the Simulation Module offer detailed views of data and model results. Reports provide details about individual components of the Reservoir Network. These options for viewing your results are described in the following sections.
Selecting Alternatives for Plotting and Review
To view the results from an alternative, check the box next to the alternative(s) you want to plot or review.
Viewing Compute Logs
If there are errors or any problems during the computation process, the Compute Log ("Figure: Compute Log") can provide information regarding the type of problem that exists. To view Compute Logs, select Compute from the Reports menu, then select the appropriate Alternative.
Only Alternatives that have a 
checkmark to the left of the alternative name in the simulation tree will appear in the list for viewing Compute Reports. These checkmarks indicate the alternatives that you are interested in viewing results for.
You can use the Find and Find Next commands in the Search menu to locate specific text in a log.
You can customize the appearance of the Compute Log with the Colors and Font commands in the Format menu.
The Colors command allows changes to the Foreground and Background colors. Selecting either one opens the Select Color dialog. See "Working with Map Display Layers" for instructions on how to use the Color Chooser tools.
The Font command opens the Select Font dialog ("Figure: Compute Log - Format Menu - Select Font"), which allows you to choose the font Type and Size. Also, you can choose whether or not to set the appearance to Bold and/or Italic characters.
The Alternative Input report provides a complete set of the data used by an alternative to compute results. To access the Alternative Input report, select Reports → Alternative Input and then select the desired alternative ("Figure: Selecting an Alternative Input Report").
The Alternative Input Report Editor will open ("Figure: Alternative Input Report Editor"). From the editor, the user can specify the Output Type as either XML or HTML and choose which elements of the alternative should be included in the report.
