Summary
The Analysis View is a component of the LEAP software used to create data structures, manage alternative scenarios, and enter modeling relationships and assumptions for energy and environmental analysis.
Key insights
- The Analysis View allows users to build data structures by editing a tree organized into seven primary categories: Key Assumptions, Effects, Demand, Transformation, Resources, Non-Energy Sectors, and Indicators.
- Data entry is performed via tables where users define Current Accounts values for base and historical data, as well as future values for specific scenarios using mathematical expressions.
- LEAP uses a color-coding system for expressions to indicate their source: purple text denotes expressions entered explicitly in the current scenario, black text indicates inheritance from another scenario or region, and green text indicates inheritance from another region in multi-region data sets.
- The software provides flexible unit management, allowing users to specify numerators and denominators, use scaling factors such as "Thousand", "Million" or "Billion", and add custom units via the General: Units screen.
- The Analysis View Toolbar includes four menu buttons to filter and select data based on branches (including tag-based filtering), variables, scenarios, and regions.
- Real-time expression validation is provided through a "Check as You Type" feature, which marks errors with red italicized text and provides a descriptive error message in a toolbar.
- The bottom pane of the Analysis View contains several specialized tabs: Chart and Table tabs for visualizing generated values, a Notes tab for documentation linked to a References database, an Expression Builder for complex multi-line equations, an Expression Elaboration tab to track variable references, and a Help tab.
