Launch

Now that the environment is ready, let's launch our first nuRemics application:

  1. Start the demo application.
    From the root of the repository, use Pixi to start the application. 

    pixi run DEMO_APP

  2. Access the interface.
    Once started, the demo application will automatically open in your default web browser.

  3. Understanding the application context.
    Take a moment to review the overall context of the application:

    • A central visual provides an overview of what the application is doing. Click on it to access a functional documentation of the scientific use case that is being addressed.
    • The top header displays the name of the application. Click on it to access the software-level documentation of the application.

  4. Set the working directory.
    Specify the local path on the machine where the application data will be stored.

  5. Pre-configure the application.
    To jumpstart the setup, pull pre-configured data directly from the SplineCloud platform. Click the Configure from SplineCloud button to automatically populate the working directory with the studies and input datasets ready for execution:

    • Two distinct studies, Study_Shape and Study_Velocity, are declared.
    • Study_Shape is configured to explore variations of the nb_sides input parameter, while Study_Velocity focuses on variations of the velocity.json input path.
    • Each study includes three input datasets (Test1, Test2, Test3) to test different variations of the inputs.

  6. Run the application.
    Click the Run App button to start the computations. The application will automatically iterate through each study (Study_Shape, Study_Velocity) and its associated input datasets (Test1, Test2, Test3), producing the scientific results directly in the working directory. Once complete, the results can be visualized directly through the application interface.
