Platform overview

Gradient Dynamics is a cloud simulation platform built around two connected products:

  • Studio is the browser workspace where engineers prepare geometry, build meshes, configure cases, monitor runs, review results and collaborate.

  • FluxCore is the GPU-native simulation engine that executes fluid and coupled thermal workloads behind Studio.

The platform keeps project data, compute and results together. A project is a traceable engineering record rather than a loose collection of local files. Geometry revisions, meshes, run settings, logs and outputs remain associated with the decision they support.

Core resources

The product is organised around a small set of engineering resources.

Resource

Purpose

Organisation

The shared workspace, members, access, storage and compute usage for a team.

Project

A product, design question, validation exercise or study campaign.

Geometry

The imported CAD or surface description and its prepared revisions.

Mesh

The discretised fluid and solid regions, named boundaries and quality record.

Simulation

Physics, material, boundary-condition and run configuration applied to a mesh.

Solution

Fields, histories, force or thermal outputs, files and visualisations produced by a run.

This resource model is also the foundation of the forthcoming public API.

What runs in the browser

Studio provides interactive tools for geometry inspection, setup and results review. Heavy meshing and simulation work runs on managed compute. You can close the browser after submitting a job and return to its project later; the project keeps the job state, logs and generated assets.

What the platform manages

Gradient Dynamics manages solver environments, accelerator provisioning, execution queues, result persistence and supported software versions. Your team manages the engineering intent: geometry, operating conditions, material properties, refinement, outputs and acceptance criteria.

Important

Cloud execution removes infrastructure work, not engineering responsibility. Always review geometry, mesh quality, boundary conditions, convergence and validation evidence before using a result for a design decision.
