   - Set up the input Json and provide the geometry file (.VDB, .PLY, .STL) and boundary condition faces (.STL, .PLY)
   - Call intact cli //$ intact -s "path to json file" --save-solution//
   - A successful run will result into a *_samples.vtu result file
   - You can visualize the result view in Paraview (an opensource program, see more in )[[https://intact-solutions.com/intact_docs/cli_manual.html|CLI Documentation]]
   - Also see the CLI Documentation to resample the saved solution on custom points
