# 📊 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.

# 📋 Available Components

Component Description Icon
Inspector Displays and validates required simulation parameters inspector
Run Status Shows simulation progress, job status, and execution information run status

# 🔍 Detailed Descriptions

# Inspector

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

Inspector Panel

Important: A simulation cannot be started until all required fields are filled and all errors are resolved (Inspector shows 0).

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.

Run Status Panel

  • 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 Finished ✓ ✓ ✓
    failed Failed ✓ ✓ ✓
    running Running ✓ ✓ ✓
    diverged Diverged - - ✓

    Note: The "Diverged" status is specific to case runs only and indicates numerical instability in the simulation.

💡 Tips
  • Monitor the Inspector panel for any missing required parameters
  • Use the Run Status panel to track simulation progress
  • Check simulation logs for detailed execution information
  • Pay attention to validation errors in the Inspector panel
  • Remember: The simulation cannot be started if the Inspector shows an error or a required field.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does the percentage in Run Status indicate?

    The percentage shows the current progress of the component run.

  • Why are some fields marked as required?

    Required fields contain essential parameters necessary for the simulation to run correctly.

  • What should I do if the Run Status shows an error?

    Check the simulation logs for detailed error information.
