Can anyone explain Pre-Processing and Post-Processing are conceptually. What do they physically mean ! Thanks !

Hey there

These are the stages involved before and after a numerical simulation.
For example, pre-processing means defining the geometry, boundary conditions, numerical schemes and so on, while post-processing means visualising results, obtaining values in certain points and so on.
