ABSTRACT
Moving from a data-driven to a model-driven analysis methodology presents a new level of complexity and difficulty. Heterogenous model structures present distinct challenges for interoperability from data structures. We will discuss the interoperability methods used in two existing CIMNE software suites, (a) GiD: an universal and adaptive pre and postprocessor for computer simulation in engineering and applied science and (b) Kratos: an open-source framework for building parallel multi-disciplinary simulation software, focused on modularity, extensibility and HPC, as track record of successful implementation references to try to delve on how to achieve interoperability with environmental computational models for the third platform, PIKSEL: Portal for the integration of knowledge for a sustainable ecosystems and land management.
SPEAKERS CV
PhD Laurence Sigler is a Doctoral Researcher in Civil Engineering and has an MSc in Geographic Information Systems from Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). His research deals with content management, ecommerce and interoperability of environmental models and simulations for GIS and digital Earth twins.
Dr. Abel Coll, Civil Engineer and PhD at the Technical University of Catalonia, is a Senior Reseacher at CIMNE and Director of the Pre and Post Processing Group. His main research lines are mesh generation and computational geometry. He is the co-chairman of the GiD Convention, which is held each two years as a meeting point between GiD users and developers.
Prof. Riccardo Rossi is a Civil Engineer from the University of Padova, PhD at the University of Bologna. He is Full Research Professor at Technical University of Catalonia (BarcelonaTech, UPC) and CIMNE, and he is one of the founders and the director at CIMNE of the Kratos Multi-Physics Open Source group. He acts as Principal Investigator in many National and EU-funded projects, and lead the development of the CFD solver which is now at the basis of the commercial solver “Click2Cast” owned by the company Altair.
Moderator:
Dr. Pere-Andreu Ubach, Civil engineer with strong focus on Management and Computer Science. PhD in Structural Analysis by the Technical University of Catalonia. Since 2006 he has combined research and management at CIMNE. From 2008 to 2013 he served as Deputy Director of CIMNE. He has participated in numerous research projects both by the European Commission and other international agencies such as the Office of Naval Research (USA) and multinational companies. Member of the coordination team of the PIKSEL project and specifically leading the Challenge 2 for predicting the evolution of the coast. His current research interest is focused on protecting beaches from their gradual and progressive erosion. Together with Laurence Sigler, he is participating in the various workshops of the European Union's Destination Earth project, which is a large-scale project with strong synergies with the PIKSEL project.
