Deviations

The Deviations section compares your simulation against a real experiment. You enter the measured values from a physical test (for example, a recorded force–displacement curve or a set of measured material properties), and PeriHub calculates how far your simulation’s numbers deviate from them.

This is mainly a research tool: it lets you check whether your model matches reality, or tune it to match.

Providing data

There are two ways to give PeriHub your experimental values:

  • Enter them directly — supply a sample size and the parameter values (their name, mean, and standard deviation).
  • Upload a file — enable additional txt input and point it at a text file containing your measured data.

After the run, the panel shows the computed deviations between your model and the measurements.

Tip: to get a meaningful comparison, your simulation’s parameters need to be set to the same values as the real experiment you are comparing against.
