GUIX-H · Solver control & parallel visualisation

Stay connected to the simulation while it runs

GUIX-H is LIKUA’s high-performance graphical environment and parallel post-processor for CMPS and Hydro. It connects directly to local or distributed solver processes, keeping setup, run control, monitoring and visualisation in one responsive workspace.

Real-time solver link Parallel post-processing Local and remote HPC Multiple solver sessions
Live engineering view Solver state and distributed result data remain available while computation continues.
Direct solver connection Persistent communication with active CMPS and Hydro processes.
Distributed data path Large result fields are processed across the parallel solver environment.
Independent interface The user interface remains separate from heavy numerical computation.
Workstation to cluster The same workflow supports local runs and remote HPC resources.
One engineering workspace

Designed around the running solver

Conventional workflows separate case preparation, execution and post-processing. GUIX-H maintains an asynchronous link to the solver, so engineers can follow the numerical state, request views and work with results without treating every step as a disconnected file-transfer operation.

01 · CONFIGURE

Prepare and launch

Access supported physical models, numerical controls, boundary conditions and run settings through a structured interface connected to the solver workflow.

  • Case and model configuration
  • Initialisation and run control
  • Local or remote solver launch
02 · OBSERVE

See the solution evolve

Examine the changing flow or physics field while iterations or time steps progress, using interactive visualisation and engineering monitors.

  • Contours and field visualisation
  • Streamlines and vector diagnostics
  • Residual and monitor histories
03 · INTERACT

Keep control responsive

Solver work and interface work remain separated. Supported commands and data requests move through asynchronous communication rather than blocking the desktop.

  • Non-blocking interface behaviour
  • Multiple connected solver sessions
  • Run-time result and diagnostic requests
Interactive parallel post-processing Technical views are requested and updated from the same environment used to manage the run.
Live post-processing

Visualisation is part of the solve workflow

GUIX-H uses VTK-based visualisation with solver-side and parallel data handling. This keeps large distributed solution fields close to the computation and gives the client the data needed for the selected engineering view.

Inspect fields Scalar, vector, surface and volume information presented as engineering views.
Control visual density Enable details such as cell edges only when they help the diagnosis.
Follow specialised solver states Access solver-specific diagnostics, partitions and multilevel-grid information when available.
System architecture

Numerics and interaction remain independent

The GUI event loop does not perform the heavy numerical work. Solver ranks retain ownership of their distributed mesh and solution data, while asynchronous messages carry commands, monitors and selected visualisation data between the two sides.

Communication is based on the parallel runtime and can use the transport available on the target platform, including shared-memory, TCP or high-speed cluster interconnects.

Focused capability set

Built for simulation-heavy engineering

GUIX-H concentrates on the tasks that determine whether a large simulation remains understandable and controllable: configuration, progress, numerical health, distributed result access and fast technical interpretation.

Case and solver control Structured access to the supported models, settings, initialisation and execution workflow.
Engineering monitoring Residuals, integral quantities and selected histories tracked during the calculation.
Parallel visualisation Contours, streamlines, vectors, surfaces and diagnostic views for distributed results.
Remote operation Connection to solver processes running on another workstation or an HPC cluster.
Multiple sessions Manage and inspect more than one supported solver process from a single environment.
Solver-specific modules Dedicated controls and viewers exposed for CMPS and Hydro capabilities as they are available.
Working sequence

From setup to engineering judgement

The interface is organised around a continuous simulation cycle rather than separate applications for preparation, execution and result inspection.

Configure Define the supported physics, boundaries, numerical controls and run settings.
Connect and run Launch or attach to the appropriate local or remote solver environment.
Observe Track convergence, monitors and evolving physical fields while the solver advances.
Interpret Use focused visual and numerical diagnostics to support the next engineering decision.
CMPS

A direct environment for LIKUA’s compressible CFD and multiphysics solver, including solver control, monitoring and domain-specific result inspection.

Hydro

The same interaction principles applied to LIKUA’s hydrocode workflows, with solver-specific controls and post-processing presented inside GUIX-H.
