Tackle the Full Simulation Lifecycle With CMB

The Computational Model Builder (CMB) leverages several powerful open-source tools and integrates them into an application framework that can be readily adapted to specific problem domains. CMB pulls the together tools and simulation codes such as Open-Cascade, Nek5000, Hydra-TH, DAKOTA, PHASTA, ParaView, MOAB, Albany, and MeshKit into a cohesive, end-to-end framework. This application framework approach allows scientists and engineers to focus on their domain expertise rather than worrying about the integration of disparate software and simulation codes. CMB is part of Kitware’s collection of commercially supported open-source platforms for software development.

Combine High-fidelity Modeling with Productive Workflows Using OpenFOAM and CMB

Combine High-fidelity Modeling with Productive Workflows Using OpenFOAM and CMB

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.

Breaking Down Barriers: How Computational Model Builder Solves Integration Challenges in Simulation Workflows

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.

New CMake Instrumentation Feature Provides Detailed Timing of Builds

New CMake Instrumentation Feature Provides Detailed Timing of Builds

CMake 4.0 introduces a new experimental feature: build process instrumentation. This feature enables detailed tracking of the entire CMake workflow—including configure time, build execution, testing, and installation—providing developers and teams with actionable insights into build performance. With fine-grained metrics such as target-specific compile times and resource usage, this system is ideal for identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement. By enabling telemetry with this feature, projects can gain insight into build performance over time, across teams or CI systems. Instrumentation hooks allow integration with third-party tools by supporting user-defined callbacks, making it easy to extend and customize the data collection pipeline.
