Tackle the Full Simulation Lifecycle With CMB

The 25.06 release of the Simulation Modeling Toolkit (SMTK) brings a wide range of improvements aimed at making simulation workflows easier to implement as well as being more intuitive and adaptable.  A More Intuitive API The methods you use to get and set unit systems have been renamed to better reflect common engineering language—so now […]

In the world of computational simulations, efficiency and flexibility are crucial. Kitware’s open source platform, Computation Model Builder (CMB), is designed to streamline every step of the simulation process, from setting up models to analyzing results. As an example, while OpenFOAM remains a powerful tool for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), integrating it with CMB elevates productivity by providing an intuitive, flexible workflow. With CMB, users can efficiently manage complex simulations, automate tasks, and make adjustments on the fly, all within a cohesive interface. This synergy allows engineers and researchers to focus more on innovation and less on the technical hurdles, ensuring that high-quality modeling doesn’t come at the cost of time or ease of use.

Simulation workflows are inherently complex, often involving a variety of computational tools that each play a crucial role in modeling, analyzing, and interpreting physical systems. From geometric kernel operations to mesh generation, numerical solvers, and post-processing analysis tools, these workflows require a high level of coordination and integration. Unfortunately, most simulation environments fall short of providing all the necessary tools in one cohesive package, and even those that do often lack the flexibility engineers need to incorporate specialized components. This lack of an adaptable, integrated environment has been a major stumbling block for advancing simulation technologies.

The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC’24) is the premier conference for supercomputing experts where they can discuss the latest developments, technologies, and applications in high-performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis. This conference provides researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners a platform to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and collaborate on cutting-edge advancements.

Modern scientific and engineering applications increasingly rely on rich, interactive 3D visualization to interpret complex data. Traditional desktop deployments, however, create barriers, installation overhead, platform dependencies, and limited scalability. As workflows migrate to the web, there is a clear need for performant, browser-native solutions that can deliver the sophistication of desktop tools without their constraints.

The first CMake 4.2 release candidate!

Kitware is pleased to announce the release of ActiViz 9.5. This version primarily focuses on enhancing the assemblies generated by the ActiViz wrapper by upgrading the dotnet target framework to .NET 9, as well as porting ActiViz to the Web using VTK WASM.Based on VTK 9.5, this version also provides newly integrated features, such as […]

Materials science thrives on understanding the link between a material’s microstructure and its properties. To truly grasp these connections, sophisticated tools for data analysis and visualization are essential. DREAM3D-NX, a sophisticated data analysis software from BlueQuartz Software, integrates the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to render materials science data. The Indispensable Role of 3D Visualization in Materials […]

As of 4.0, CMake can now record diagnostic output in the Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF), making it easier for static analysis result viewers like debuggers and IDEs to report build system issues reported by CMake with enhanced detail. To generate a SARIF file for a CMake run, users can simply add the argument […]
