What's wrong with this sentence?

This sentence seems awkward to me, but I'm not sure how to revise it.

"A truly three-dimensional case is simulated and compared with previous experimental data satisfactorily."

I think the problem is with the word "satisfactorily." Any idea how to rewrite this so it sounds better.
