Run Status Tab

Once a BatchMesher run is initialized, this tab reports on the status of the run and its jobs. Each run is listed as a sub-folder in a tree, along with the exact path of the results location. Each job, corresponding to one geometry file, is listed as a node of the tree, along with its geometry and mesh types, and its current status. Additional details can be queried for each job and for the entire run.
