About

The svZeroDGUI application is designed to facilitate the creation of 0D model input files through an intuitive graphical user interface. Located in the applications folder, this tool allows users to generate input files for the svZeroDSolver by visually drawing and configuring the network.

Unlike manual file creation, which can be cumbersome and error-prone, svZeroDGUI provides an easy-to-use interface that simplifies the process of defining network components such as vessels, junctions, and boundary conditions. This application is especially valuable for users who lack access to 3D models or seek an efficient alternative to manual file generation, making the model creation process both faster and more user-friendly.

Architecture

svZeroDGUI is built using a robust architecture that includes:

• Frontend: The frontend is developed with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a responsive and user-friendly interface. It utilizes Cytoscape.js, a popular package for creating interactive elements and graphical networks.
• Backend: Flask app, Node.js for server-side logic, and Cypress for testing. This architecture supports an intuitive user experience for generating and managing 0D input files through a graphical interface.
