Making Waves With Computational Model Builder

Managing complex simulation workflows traditionally relies on extensive note-taking. However, this method is prone to errors, as even the most detailed notes can lead to missed steps and failed simulations. Furthermore, transferring these workflows to colleagues becomes difficult due to potential misinterpretations of notes, creating significant barriers to collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Computational Model Builder (CMB) solves this problem. By using a task-based modeling approach, CMB enforces the right dependencies and prevents users from running simulations prematurely. It validates required data before allowing tasks to be marked complete, reducing errors and ensuring every workflow is repeatable, shareable, and reliable.

This session will help you eliminate workflow errors, simplify simulation management, and improve collaboration across your team. You’ll walk away understanding how to:

• Confidently manage complex dependencies with CMB.
• Improve reproducibility and accuracy in your simulations.
• Apply this approach to diverse workflows in engineering and research.

Join us to see how CMB can transform your workflow.

During this webinar, Kitware’s experts will:

1. Demonstrate how CMB structures simulation workflows into clear, validated tasks that prevent mistakes.
2. Showcase a user-friendly workflow for simulating wavetanks with OpenFOAM.
3. Explain how this task-based approach streamlines collaboration and knowledge transfer across teams.
4. Highlight the broader applicability of CMB to a wide range of simulation workflows beyond wavetanks.
