1. Create Project
To be able to upload cases to KaleidoSim create a project.
2. Define Project
After adding a project, you will be requested to give that project a name and select the OpenFoam® version which you’d like to use to solve your cases in the cloud. You will be able to specify the solver per case.
3. Create Case
From within the created project click on “create case” to upload your case(s).
4. Case setup
During Case setup you will be able to define your case parameters before running your cases in the cloud.
5. Folder structure
Zip your whole case folder before uploading it to the platform.
Make sure your file is in zip file format, e.g. Filename.zip. (tar.zip and others are not supported!)
Important: we run 64Bit installations. If you need 32Bit compatibility, make sure your case is set up in ascii format and NOT binary.
6. Case upload
During upload you can also select multiple .zip files to upload to the platform. All of the uploaded cases will be solved in the cloud at the same time.
7. Run case
After uploading all your cases, you will see them listed under “Project Cases”. From this view you can select which cases you want to run by using the checkbox and hitting “Run selected Cases”.
8. Get results
Once the case has completed it’s status will change from “Running” to “Completed” and you will be able to download the “output” file from the “Simulation Files”-section.
