Initialization and Meanflow Preparation

This phase prepares the case definition and the solver-ready meanflow data. Complete both steps before creating parsing or spectra runs.

Stage What it does Main output
Initialization Writes the starting configuration for the case lst.cfg
Extract (optional) Extracts wall-normal profiles from a CFD mesh when the base flow is in Tecplot FE-quad format extracted_baseflow.hdf5
Meanflow Preparation Converts the base flow into the solver-ready format used by lst.x meanflow.bin

See CLI Usage or API Usage for the practical steps.
