Modelers

Overview

Modelers within Templize serve as a central feature of the platform, providing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) engineers with a repository of ready-to-use simulation cases. These modelers are essentially sophisticated templates that can be customized through user-defined parameters.

Interface and Accessibility

The user interface, as depicted in the provided image, is straightforward and user-friendly. The platform categorizes modelers under two primary sections: 'Public Modelers' and 'My Modelers.' This separation ensures that users can easily navigate between community-shared resources and their personal projects.

Modeler Listings

Each listed modeler includes a title, a brief description, and an option to 'Clone' or 'Select' the template. These titles often reflect the specific simulation scenario, such as "sloshingTank3D3DoF" or "containerDischarge2D," indicating the modeler's purpose and the type of simulation it represents.

Cloning and Customization

The 'Clone' feature is particularly noteworthy, as it allows users to take an existing modeler and replicate it, creating a personal copy that can be tweaked and tailored to fit individual needs without affecting the original. This capability encourages experimentation and refinement of simulations.

Parameter Adjustment and UI Components

Each modeler is built to allow parameter adjustments via standard UI components, simplifying the process of fine-tuning simulations. For example, if an engineer wishes to simulate different wind speeds in a wind tunnel test, they can do so by adjusting the relevant parameters in the modeler's UI, rather than altering the simulation code directly.

Modeler Descriptions

Descriptions provide a snapshot of what each modeler is about. For instance, a modeler titled "motorBike" is described as a way to solve a motorBike problem in OpenFOAM, suggesting that it comes pre-configured with the necessary settings for such a simulation.

Search and Filter

The application also includes a search bar, offering users the ability to quickly locate modelers by keywords. Adjacent to the search bar are filter options, allowing users to sort modelers based on various criteria like solvers (e.g., OpenFOAM, Gerris), topics, and industries, thereby enhancing the search experience.

Collaboration and Sharing

The platform encourages collaboration by allowing users to share their custom modelers with the public. This can facilitate knowledge sharing within the community, as users can benefit from and contribute to a growing library of modelers.

Run Management

Aside from creating and customizing simulations, Templize allows users to manage simulation runs. While the image does not show this functionality directly, it implies that users can track their simulations' history and manage them efficiently from the same interface, thereby streamlining the entire simulation process.
