Draft. This manual is new and still growing. If something here does not match what you see in the software, the software is right — tell us and we will fix the page.
Reference
Complete and dry. Look things up here; learn things in Tutorials and understand them in Concepts.
Panels
One page per panel. The first thirty-five are the setup-tree steps, in the order the application presents them, so reading straight down them is the same as working straight down the case. After those come the panels reached from somewhere other than the tree — a dialog, a settings page, or an editor opened from a row.
Each page lists the panel's controls with their units, defaults, the option lists they offer, and the problems the application will report against them.
These pages are generated from the QML by tools/gen-panel-reference.py. Edits
to them are overwritten on the next run.

The last one matters more than its position suggests. The product's honest selling point is that it writes an ordinary input deck — an OpenFOAM case for the fluid families, a code_aster or Elmer deck for the rest — and a page that shows exactly what lands on disk is how somebody verifies that claim rather than taking it on trust.
