name: mxl-index description: This skill should be used when users ask how to set up, choose, or run a MaxwellLink simulation and the correct solver/driver/HPC/post-processing workflow must be selected.
MaxwellLink skill index
Route the request
- Classify the request as: input preparation, solver/driver selection, run execution, HPC deployment, post-processing, or troubleshooting.
- Load the corresponding specialized skill below and follow its checklist end-to-end.
Choose solver/driver quickly
- Use
skills/mxl-core/references/solver_quickref.mdto pick an EM solver. - Use
skills/mxl-core/references/driver_quickref.mdto pick a molecular driver. - Confirm coupling mode:
- Use embedded drivers when everything can run inside the EM process.
- Use sockets when drivers must run as separate processes or nodes.
