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)

       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.
