Results and simulation lifecycle

These pages explain how a simulation progresses, stops, and exposes quantities and result files for interpretation.

• Simulation status and result files connects submission, run state, terminal status, and persisted artifacts.
• Monitors and derived quantities explains reductions, probes, conservation balances, and CTM junction-temperature histories.
• How simulations stop compares solver limits, convergence criteria, external stops, and failures.
• VTU fields and domains explains cell-centred output, fluid and solid partitions, and placeholder values.

For practical workflows, use the Run simulations and Solver and results How-to guides.
