Features

This section explains some convenient features that the application includes.

Use default materials

The application has some default materials that you can use in your input parameter setup. These materials are datasets formed from literature. An overview of which materials are available can be found on the page Materials and models together with the reference and dataset details.

Define your own materials

Did you characterize your own material in the lab, found one in literature, or just simply would like to see how changing material characteristics change the simulation results? Then you can do this by defining your own material. You can do this on the Simulation page by selecting ‘User defined’ in the a material selectbox. When ‘User defined’ is selected, an expander will appear where you can fill in your own parameter values. You can still use parameter values from the default materials by copying the values from the Materials and models page.

Visualize your geometry

We’ve included a feature on the Simulation page that visualizes the battery cell geometry depending on the component thicknesses and porosities, the length, and the width that are defined in the parameter inputs.

Download your input data

After defining your parameters on the Simulation page, you can download them in two different formats. The first format is the JSON Linked Data format in which the data is structured, together with its metadata, according to the FAIR data principles and the 5 star open data guidelines in order to improve interoperability. In the second format, the input data is structured according to the BattMo format.

Visualize and download your results

After a simulation has finished, the results can immediatly be Visualized on the Results page. You can choose from several results parameters and visualize them in line or color plots. You can also download you results as an HDF5 file.
