# Dashboard

The Flow360 GUI dashboard serves as the central hub for managing and monitoring your computational fluid dynamics (CFD) projects. This interface provides an intuitive overview of your simulations, resources, and project status.

# 📋 Dashboard Components

Component Description
Recent Grid view of recent CFD projects with status indicators.
FlexCredits Display of available computation credits.
Pending resources Overview of computational resources in use, diverged, or failed.
Start with the example Use a pre-prepared example to get accustomed to Flow360.

# 🔍 Detailed Descriptions

# Recent

The main area displays a grid of recent project cards, showing your latest CFD simulations in chronological order.

  • Information shown for each project:
    • Project name and description
    • Number of surface meshes, volume meshes and cases
    • Divergence and error indicators
    • Last modification timestamp
  • New project button:
    • Create a new project
  • Refresh button:
    • Manually refresh all project resource statuses
    • Located next to New project button

# FlexCredits

Shows your current balance of computation credits.

  • Balance: Numerical value of your current FlexCredit balance.
  • Updates: Credits are consumed based on computational resources used.

# Pending resources

Displays pending computational resources and their current status.

  • Information Shown:
    • Running jobs
    • Queue status
    • Errors and divergence

Note: Below Pending resources there is a visual representation of all project's statuses called Projects.

# Start with the example

A quick-start option for new users to begin with Flow360.

  • Features:
    • Template for common simulation scenarios
    • Complete simulation setup
    • Sample geometries and volume meshes

💡 Tips
  • Click the details icon on a project card for additional information
  • Monitor resource usage in real-time through the pending resources panel
  • Quickly see which project has diverged or errored
  • Use the refresh button if you don't see recent changes reflected
  • Start with the example project if you're new to Flow360

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I start a new project?

    Click the "New project" button in the top right corner of the dashboard.

  • How can I monitor resource usage?

    Check the "Pending resources" panel on the right sidebar for real-time resource allocation and usage statistics.
