Multi-Geometry Interface

Overview of Luminary's multi-geometry user interface

Updated yesterday

The Multi-Geometry UI introduces a new way to organize and interact with geometries and their versions inside geometry-based projects on Luminary Cloud. This redesign unifies geometry management, mesh visibility, and setup initiation into a single coherent experience, making it easier to iterate across multiple designs within a single project.

This update only affects geometry-based projects. Projects that are mesh-based will continue to display the original interface.


Geometry Landing Page

When opening a project that contains a geometry file, you’ll now see a new Geometries homepage.

Layout

The page includes three top-level tabs:

  • Geometries — the new home for geometry and mesh management.

  • Setup — the simulation setup view (unchanged in core functionality).

  • Results — the simulation results view (unchanged).

Geometry Table

The Geometries tab contains a hierarchical table that lists all geometries in the project. Each geometry can be expanded to show its versions as nested rows.

Each table entry displays:

  • Geometry or version name

  • Status indicator

  • Metadata summary

  • Actions (open, rename, copy, set up simulation, delete)


Geometry Actions

Every geometry in the table supports a consistent action set:

  • Open — navigate to the detailed geometry page.

  • Rename — update the name inline or through the inspector.

  • Copy — create a duplicate of the geometry and its relevant metadata.

  • Set Up Simulation— load this geometry (or version) into the Setup workspace.

  • Delete — permanently remove the geometry from the project.


Geometry Versions

Only “interesting” versions of each geometry are displayed by default to avoid clutter.

The visible versions include:

  • Versions with associated meshes

  • Named versions

  • The current (active) version

Each version row supports its own contextual actions:

  • Rename version

  • Setup Simulation (replaces “Load to Setup”)

A small icon indicates which geometry and version is currently active in the Setup.


Inspector Panel and Details View

Clicking a geometry or version once opens the details inspector on the right side of the page. This inspector shows:

  • Geometry metadata (timestamps, source file name, etc.)

  • Action buttons (Rename, Delete, Copy, Set Up Simulation)

  • Associated meshes listed in a nested table

Meshes displayed under a geometry or version can also be renamed or deleted directly from this inspector.


Double-Click Navigation

Double-clicking a geometry opens the dedicated Geometry Page, which has been restructured for clarity.

Changes on the Geometry Page:

  1. Standalone View: The Geometry page is now independent — the header no longer shows Setup or Results tabs.

    • Rationale: Setup is global to the project, not per geometry.

  2. Project Breadcrumb: The project name in the header is now a link back to the Geometries homepage.

  3. Updated Action Labels: “Load to Setup” has been renamed to “Setup Simulation.”


New Geometry version page

Double-clicking a geometry version opens a new read-only page for the geometry version.


Integration with Setup and Results

In the Setup tab:

  • The header now displays the name of the currently loaded geometry.

  • The geometry name is clickable, linking back to its Geometry page for quick inspection or switching.

In the Results tab, functionality remains consistent with previous versions — simulation results remain tied to the active setup configuration.

The Results table now contains new Mesh and Geometry columns which indicate the mesh and geometry used for each simulation.


Status Indicators

Both geometries and meshes now include richer status indicators to clarify their state within the project.

Examples include:

  • For Geometries: Busy | Ready for Check | Check in progress | Has feature errors | Failed geometry check

  • For Meshes: Generated | Failed to generate | Generating | Unknown

  • Exact statuses may vary or change. These appear as colored icons or labels beside geometry and mesh names, improving traceability throughout the workflow.


Search, Filter, and Settings

The geometries table now includes a search bar and filter options to help navigate large projects with many geometries and versions.

You can filter by:

  • Name or tag

  • Status

  • Upload date or user

  • Mesh presence

Additional settings controls allow you to toggle visibility of specific columns or metadata fields.
