Analysis View

The Analysis View in LEAP allows users to build the structural framework of their energy model through a tree organized by categories such as Demand, Transformation, and Resources. Users enter data and modeling relationships using mathematical expressions in data entry tables, which support color-coding to distinguish between explicitly entered and inherited values. The view includes tools for scenario management, unit conversion, and expression validation, alongside a bottom pane for visualizing data via charts and tables, documenting references in a Notes tab, and constructing complex formulas in an Expression Builder.

• The Analysis View is the primary interface for creating data structures, which are organized into a tree with major categories including Key Assumptions, Effects, Demand, Transformation, Resources, Non-Energy Sectors, and Indicators.
• Data is entered using mathematical expressions that define both historical 'Current Accounts' values and future scenario values; these expressions can range from simple numbers to complex formulae.
• LEAP uses a color-coding system for expressions to indicate their source: purple for explicit entries in the current scenario, black for values inherited from another scenario or region, and green for values inherited from another region in multi-region data sets.
• The software includes a 'Check as You Type' validation feature that identifies expression errors in real-time by displaying them as red italicized text and providing an error message.
• The Analysis View provides flexible unit management, allowing users to enter data in various standard units for power, energy, mass, volume, and money, and it performs automatic unit conversion for reporting results.
• The interface features a bottom pane with specialized tabs: a chart/table view for data examination, a Notes screen for documentation linked to a References database, an Expression Builder for complex formulas, and an Expression Elaboration tab to track variable dependencies.
