Toolbar

The static toolbar is used, among other things, to define the fluid model, add physics to the system, tailor the simulation output, and execute the simulation. The toolbar is located just below the menu and provides shortcuts to menu commands.

Toolbar Selections

Component	Description
New	Open new file
Open	Open a preexisting file
Save	Save simulation
Undo	Undo recent changes to the model
Redo	Restore an action that was previously undone
Fluid	Define the types of fluids that will exist in your simulation
	Single Phase: A single fluid with no interface Free Surface: A single fluid with a dynamic interface Immiscible Two-Fluid: Two fluids and the dynamic interface between the fluids Background Fluid: A set of background fluid properties with no fluid dynamics No Fluid: No fluid is considered and no fluid properties are specified
Create	Create the components of your model
	Fundamentals: Create solid body geometry using built-in parametrics or loading an external CAD Particles: Add Lagrangian point objects such as bubbles or droplets that can assume arbitrary positions in the vessel and participate in reactions Lattice: Add refinement Scalar: Model reactions, thermal fields, and other continuous phase systems Variables: Generate custom values during simulation Runtime: Read and write global variables, apply control logic, and expose reusable functions and tables to UDFs Thermal: Describe the time-evolution of a temperature field across the flow domain Data Sampling: Add additional sampling probes, lines, and planes to your model Data Analysis: Extract deeper insight from simulations
Output	Control the types of data output that get printed to disc and the frequency of the data for visualization
	Statistics: Control text-based simulation data written during a run Planes/Probes: Specify which field quantities are calculated and exported along output planes and surfaces Volume: Specify which field quantities are calculated and exported across the full lattice volume Fluid Interface: Specify which field quantities are calculated and exported along the fluid interface Static Bodies: Control the calculation and export of forces, time-averaged forces, wetted area, and wall-function metrics on static geometry Moving Bodies: Control the export of time-averaged stress and volume fraction data for moving bodies Bubbles/Particles: Control how particle and bubble data are written at both slices and volumes Restart Files: Control the creation of binary checkpoint files used to restart simulations
Check	Check that your motion types and parameterization are set up properly
	Check Model: Check for model self-consistency and errors in user-defined functions Preview Lattice: Visualize the lattice that will be created at run time Preview Surface Meshes: Preview the STL mesh that will be generated by the preprocessor for each geometry Preview Motions: Preview the motion of moving objects present in the simulation through 3D space and time
Solve	Optimize variables during the solve to automatically create a tailored resolution
	Run Solver: Find options for exporting data Run Auto-Resolver: Automatically manage resolutions Run Optimizer: Optimize a given quantity by changing an input property Add Parameter Sweep to Solver Queue: Run multiple simulations while varying outputs to study their effects Add to Solver Queue: Build a queue of simulations and run them on GPUs
