Calculate estimation only can be checked, and then, the full simulation is not performed, but only the cell potential is estimated. This estimation is much faster than the full simulation. It considers the cell potential in equilibrium as well as the charge rate and part of the structure information, like the solid volume percentages of the different materials of the battery. From this information, Ohmic losses and overpotentials at the surfaces, but no overpotentials due to diffusion are considered in the estimation. In this case, no solver options need to be defined, and the Solver tab is inactive.

The Cell SOC interval of result output defines the interval for the export of intermediate result files in percent of the cell state of charge.

Select which fields to write into the 3D result files (*.cap).

The lithium ion Concentration and the Potential are always written.

The fields Ion Flux Density and Electric Current Density are available for BESTmicro and LIR solver.

The fields Kinetic Overpotential, Plating Potential, and Produced Heat are only available for the BESTmicro solver.
