Modules Overview
A guided map of the modules that make up the VOLT workspace.
TL;DR -- VOLT is organized by workflow, not by product tier. You move from trajectories and analyses to clusters, notebooks, papers, and collaboration without leaving the same team workspace.
The sidebar is easier to understand once you stop reading it as a menu of isolated features. Most modules are different faces of the same workflow: data comes in through trajectories or SSH import, processing runs on clusters, results appear in analysis and jobs, and the surrounding modules help you automate, inspect, discuss, and publish the work.
Core Workflow
This is where most teams spend their time. You start with the dashboard, work with trajectories, inspect derived simulation metadata, and run analyses that fan out across your cluster.
Dashboard
Your operational home: metrics, quick actions, live activity, jobs, search, and team presence.
Trajectories
Upload simulations, track processing, open the 3D viewer, and work with scene artifacts and public sharing.
Analysis & Jobs
Run plugin workflows, follow progress frame by frame, and inspect the result model behind analyses.
Simulation Cells
Review the derived box geometry and periodic boundary data created during trajectory processing.
Compute & Infrastructure
These modules are what make VOLT feel like an actual workspace instead of a thin web front end. They connect your hardware, expose remote services safely, and give the team places to run custom workloads.
Clusters
Enroll machines, watch heartbeats and health metrics, and open remote access sessions into the services backing your team.
Containers
Run Docker workloads with terminals, file access, port proxying, and optional remote desktop sessions.
SSH Import
Store SSH connections, browse remote file systems, and pull simulation data closer to your team cluster.
Scripting & AI
When the built-in workflows are not enough, VOLT gives you two different extension points. Scripting is for custom notebook-driven work. Volt AI is for natural-language control across the rest of the platform.
Scripting
Open Jupyter sessions on your cluster, work with trajectory-linked notebooks, and build custom post-processing flows.
Volt AI
Use team-scoped AI providers and tool-calling workflows to operate on trajectories, analyses, documents, and infrastructure.
Collaboration
The collaboration modules are not bolted on. They share the same team context, permissions, notifications, and real-time layer as the scientific workflow.
Teams
Manage members, roles, invitations, secret keys, and AI provider integrations for a workspace.
Chat
Run direct and group conversations with presence, typing indicators, reactions, and file sharing.
LaTeX
Write papers collaboratively with multi-file editing, PDF preview, imports, exports, and contextual AI assistance.
Whiteboards
Sketch ideas and diagrams together with live sync and persistent board state stored on your infrastructure.
Notifications
Follow team and system events through a real-time personal feed tied to your account.
