Gear icon Settings: appearance, simulation checks, help, cluster sign-in.

The active view's tab is highlighted. One view is visible at a time. Switching views keeps the state of the others: a form you filled stays filled while you look at the Jobs dashboard.

Simulation Setup layout

  • Left pane: the solver form, one collapsible box per input-file container (ModelInfo, FiniteElement, EigenSolver, …). A red dot on a box means a required field inside it is empty.
  • Right pane, top: the Cubit and ParaView launch buttons, Simulation Settings and Run Simulation.
  • Right pane, middle: the Mesh Viewer with the Cubit parameters, display options and sideset list.
  • Right pane, bottom: the Sbatch destination menu and the Input File / Sbatch preview with Load, Edit, Save and Add to workflow.

Click a pane to make it the active pane. The mouse wheel then scrolls only that pane. Over the other pane, the wheel does nothing and a hint reads Click to scroll this panel. A plot zooms with the wheel only after you click inside it.
