Flowchart
Flowchart of main components¶
The following Mermaid flowchart illustrates the main components and data flow within the C2F4DT application.
C2F4DT acts as a viewer and plugin host. The diagram shows GUI elements, data input/output, processing steps, data models, grid and FEM generation, visualization overlays, and optional tools.
Cloud2FEM is represented as a built-in plugin extending these capabilities.
