Simulation workflows are essential for engineers tackling complex multi-physics problems, but they can quickly become overwhelming. From managing various command line tools and input files to handling post-processing techniques, the workflow process can be cumbersome and error-prone. Missing documentation or unclear procedures can lead to significant setbacks, including process failures that may even put lives at risk.

Recognizing these challenges, we recently hosted a webinar titled Quickly Create, Deploy, and Maintain Simulation Workflows. This session provides valuable insights into overcoming the common obstacles in developing and managing simulation workflows, offering a solution that can drastically simplify your processes.

What You’ll Learn

The webinar begins by discussing the core components of most simulation workflows and the specific challenges engineers face when navigating these complex processes. We then introduce Computational Model Builder (CMB), an open source platform designed to streamline and enhance your workflow capabilities.

CMB offers a robust set of features to address the various needs of workflow developers:

  • Extensible Support for Geometric Domains: Flexible architecture allows for detailed modeling of 3D geometric domains, accommodating the diverse requirements of different engineering problems.
  • Advanced Information Representation: A powerful system for managing complex data representations, such as boundary conditions and material properties, ensuring that all critical information is accurately captured and easily accessible.
  • Automatic User Interface Generation: Automatically create user interfaces tailored to your specific workflow, saving you time and reducing the potential for errors.
  • Advanced Operations and Plugins: Workflow designers can incorporate new functionalities, including custom command line tools. Additionally, users can modify the tool’s appearance and behavior to suit their specific needs.

Real-World Applications

To illustrate the power of CMB, we walk you through an OpenFOAM-based wind tunnel workflow. This case study highlights how CMB can be used to design and simplify complex simulation processes, reducing the need for manual intervention and minimizing the risk of errors.

We will also showcase how CMB’s versatility extends to various other workflows, from terrain modeling to anatomical annotations. In each case, CMB’s abilities have been leveraged to create more efficient, accurate, and manageable workflows, allowing engineers to focus on what matters most: solving problems.
