7.1. Where are my AWS credentials stored locally?

Your AWS credentials are encrypted and stored locally (if you hit Yes previously at authentication step) at

~/.flow360/

For security, your password is stored as hashed value, so nobody can guess your password.

To list all your mesh files:

>>> flow360client.mesh.ListMeshes()

To view one particular mesh:

>>> flow360client.mesh.GetMeshInfo('')

7.3. My case is still running, but how can I check the current residual and surface force result?

>>> caseResid = flow360client.case.GetCaseResidual('')

7.4. How do I download or view a finished case result?

To download the surface data (surface distributions and slices):

>>> flow360client.case.DownloadSurfaceResults('', '/tmp/surfaces.tar.gz')

Replace the second parameter with your target location and output file name, ending with ‘.tar.gz’.

To download the entire flowfield:

>>> flow360client.case.DownloadVolumetricResults('', '/tmp/volume.tar.gz')
