How-to guides

Use these guides when you have a specific task in mind and need an adaptable procedure rather than a lesson. Except for API setup, they assume you already have a simulation request to modify or run.

• Run simulations covers Python and shell automation, progress updates, and run control.
• Geometry and mesh covers the domain, components, boundary placement, and mesh validation.
• Flow and heat transfer covers fan curves, linked fans, and compact thermal models.
• Troubleshooting instabilities covers oscillation, divergence, and non-physical fields.
• Solver and results covers stopping criteria, ParaView and Python analysis, and checks on downloaded results.

For an end-to-end introduction, use Run your first simulation with Python. To understand Vanellus representations and solver behavior, see the Explanation chapter.
