Status Bar

The Status Bar at the bottom of the screen provides real-time information about simulation parameters and execution progress. It consists of two main components: the Inspector and Run Status panels.

Detailed Descriptions

Inspector

The Inspector panel validates and displays essential simulation parameters that must be defined or corrected before running the simulation.

Important

The simulation cannot be started until all required fields are set and all errors are resolved.

The Inspector provides comprehensive validation feedback:

• Required fields (orange): Shows count of missing required parameters

• Error states (red): Indicates validation errors that must be fixed

• Field paths (blue): Links to specific parameters needing attention

• Parameter path (e.g., [velocity_magnitude], [4/surfaces])

• Validation status (“Field required”, “Value error”)

• Context information (“relevant for: Case”)

• Detailed error messages when applicable

Run Status

The Run Status panel provides a hierarchical view of simulation execution stages and progress.

• Status Information:

  • Real-time simulation logs

  • Current execution phase

  • Detailed progress tracking

• Status Icons and Their Applicability:

  Icon	Status	Surface Meshing	Volume Meshing	Case Run
  	Finished	✓	✓	✓
  	Failed	✓	✓	✓
  	Running	✓	✓	✓
  	Diverged	-	-	✓

  Note

  The “Diverged” status is specific to case runs only and indicates numerical instability in the simulation.

• Estimated Time Remaining:

  While a step is running, the Run Status panel shows an estimate of how much time is left for that step, displayed next to the step as ~X min remaining (also shown in seconds for short steps, or as ~X hr X min remaining for longer runs).

  

  • The estimate is available for every progress-tracked step: surface meshing, volume meshing, the case run, and post-processing.

  • It appears once the step is actively running and has made enough progress.

  • The value is an approximation derived from the elapsed time and the current progress, so it is refreshed periodically and becomes more accurate as the run proceeds.
