Cloud connection
Hosted Scenaven is where you sign in with Antinode and try the viewer. The cloud you get today is a preview: prepared Examples, the 3D view, and the controls around them.
You do not open a different URL for cloud vs on-prem — see One address.
Google Cloud
On-prem for the full tool set
Uploads, filters, Python, and the other server tools run on on-prem. Hosted cloud with the same tools follows feedback from that use.
Why the preview stays on examples
Opening your own files, converting them, clipping, warping, and running Python need a server that stays up and stores your data. That is ongoing infrastructure cost.
The preview keeps that cost down while you learn the viewer. The examples are already prepared, so you can orbit, color a field, probe, and step through time without Scenaven running that compute for every visit.
The full set is ready when you run Scenaven on a machine you control:
- Open for your own VTK files
- Filters, Extract, and VTK dataset info (ℹ️)
- The Python session, and amAIra skills that run on your simulation
Run that on-prem setup and use your own data. A Scenaven admin turns the same tools on for hosted cloud from feedback on that use.
Preview and the full tool set
| Cloud preview | Full tool set | |
|---|---|---|
| Learn the view | Sign in, Examples, camera, color, probes, scene tree, and time | The same controls, on your own files |
| Load data | Prepared examples already on the server | Open for .vtk, .vtkhdf, .vtp, and .vtu |
| Change the mesh | Explore the example as it was published | Filters, Extract, and VTK dataset info |
| Ask and script | Chat about the viewer | Python session, and amAIra skills that run on the simulation |
| Where this runs | Hosted Scenaven, today | On-prem now. Hosted cloud after a Scenaven admin enables it from on-prem feedback |
Start on the preview
- Open your Scenaven address and sign in.
- Open Infrastructure (top right). The panel is titled Choose infra. It should say Connected and Cloud.
- Click Examples and pick a dataset.
- Try Rendering, the scene tree, the view controls, and time if that example has more than one step.
From the same Infrastructure panel, open Self-hosted setup when you are ready to run the full tool set on your own machine.
When hosted cloud services are enabled
After there is enough feedback from on-prem use, a Scenaven admin can turn the server tools on for the hosted viewer. Open, filters, extract, dataset info, Python, and amAIra then work in the cloud the way they do on-prem, within your account limits and while the server is connected.
If you were already signed in when that changed, sign out and sign in again so the viewer picks up the new connection.
On a shared computer
Sign out from Account when you are done. Use the HTTPS address you were given, and avoid sending a signed-in page to someone else.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What to try |
|---|---|
| Sign-in never finishes | Clear cookies for the site, then try again |
| Open or Filters is unavailable | Expected on the preview. Use Examples here, or on-prem for your own files and the full tool set |
| The gallery is empty | The examples may still be loading. If it stays empty, contact support |
| Hosted cloud services were enabled, but the tools stay off | Sign out and back in. Confirm Infrastructure says Connected |
