2.3.3.Main Controls
 Main Controls: Contains stop, play and pause buttons. In addintion the simulator can be run
faster up to 10 times real time from here.

3. Down hole Well configuration

The well configuration supports different units. If the user is supplied data with a different unit, the Unit
System List can be used to change this. See the Unit system List chapter.
Copy/Paste functionality is implemented
throughout, so data from spreadsheet
applications can be copied, and pasted into the
well configuration tables. Make sure that the
units used is corresponding to the source.
NB! It is important that the configuration is
done with great accuracy to maintain a high
quality and realistic simulation.
To add the configuration date it is necessary to
open the Well Configuration Editor. In the
Instructor client, go to Tools->Show Well
