  • Error Evaluation (CurveError, Enum) Result of the data evaluation
  • Curve Data (CurveData, IListClonavel) - the curve data, with the following columns:

    • Value (Value, Double) - the value to be considered

The data are entered into the table and plotted on the graph for better visualization:

This property is useful if the reservoir represents a connection to another system whose pressure varies with time
