 CFD using PHASTA can be intimidating at the beginning.  The very first things you'll need are some familiarity with [[UNIX]] and a connection to an HPC resource like one of our systems or [[Janus Cheat Sheet|Janus]].  Once you've got those two things, this page will take you through the basics of setting up and running a problem.

		+	The first thing you should do is connect to a viz node or other computing resource. Do NOT run PHASTA on portal0!

		+	In order to run PHASTA, you'll need to have a properly prepared geometric model, solver.inp and input.config files, and a PHASTA executable. To get your executable, you'll need to compile PHASTA using [[Compiling PHASTA With CMake\|CMake]].

		+	Your model, solver.inp, and input.config files should all be in the same directory. From that directory, you can run PHASTA using MPI:
