The Toolbox requires MATLAB® edition 7.4 (R2006a) or later. Some features are also supported in earlier versions of MATLAB®.
Using the toolbox requires prepending a number of directories to the
MATLAB® search path. The startup
script
within the main toolbox directory handles the necessary path modifications.
Starting MATLAB® in the main Toolbox directory will
automatically run startup.
Otherwise, you will need to invoke this particular script
manually—either by means of the run command or by navigating to the main toolbox
directory and typing startup
in the Command Window.
The best place to start is by watching our demos for an overview of toolbox features. We recommend that you start with the Basic Reservoir Tutorial Demo. This demonstration describes how to set up and simulate a simple reservoir model.
You can also look at the source code for this demo in the Editor, or run the demo step by step in the Command Window.
At present the only help provided with the Reservoir Simulation
Toolbox is M-file help for each
function. This works as follows: If you need to know more about a
specific function called functionname
, type the in the
Command Window:
help functionname
This displays the M-file help, which is a brief description and the
syntax for functionname, in the Command Window.
