Hi, I am simulating the operation of ATES now. When I check my result, I found the sudden changes in temperature. For example, after the injection phase and rest phase of warm well, the temperature will suddenly increase comparing the start of pumping to the end of rest. I put the temperature history charts into the attachment. Does anyone may know the reason of this phenomenon and may help me to fix the problem? Thanks a lot, Guanyu

Hello, Thanks for your answer. I found that there are 2 plug-ins, OpenLoop and Open-Loop Design. Would you please tell me the difference between these 2 plug-ins? Also, I wonder how to use Open-Loop Design. I checked the Help document but I cannot understand following expression: 4. A second nodal distribution in User Data with the name 'OpenLoopPortion' is to be created to define the portions of injection/extraction on the nodes belonging to a system. The integer reference value represents the number of the time-series to be used as the portion function for the well at this location. The same time-series ID may be used for more than one well. The values in the time series are expected to be between 0 and 1, and typically would add up to 1 when summing over all extraction or injection nodes of a system (unless water is discharged elsewhere). All other nodes are to be given zero or negative values. Is OpenLoopPortion a mandatory setting when using Open-Loop Design? If so, how to arrange the value of nodes? Thanks, Guanyu

I want to model a doublet ATES system. How to use the OpenLoop Plug-in to realize the fixed injection temperature? （For example，I would like to inject water with 14℃ in summer and inject water with 6℃ in witer. The extraction and injection well be inverted with the season change）
