Integrated Open Access Materials Modelling Innovation Platform for Europe

General Information

OpenModel provides an integrated open access material modelling platform designed to be easily integrated with, and usable by, any existing and future EU platforms, e.g., Open Translation Environments (OTE), Materials Modelling Market Places (MMMP), Innovation Test Beds (ITB), and Business Decision Support Systems (BDSS). Furthermore, OpenModel integrates with Life Cycle Analysis as well as the "plug and produce". It considers characterization open innovation environments to enable better integration of characterization and processing data into materials modelling workflows. The OpenModel platform directly addresses the needs of industry for creating and executing standardised advanced materials modelling workflows by offering 5 main ingredients:
1) EMMO based ontology extensions as basis for all developments;
2) an Interoperability layer providing an implementation in a semantic manner;
3) an Open Simulation Platform based on standardised interfaces and semantic common application programming interfaces (API), to enable integration of third party physics based modelling codes;
4) Smart workflow builders that respond to semantic information and requirements and create on the fly advanced workflows taking into account Key Business and Technical Performance Indicators (KPI);
5) workflow executors and curators able to perform and manage the results making it readily and transparently available for further control and processing by other platforms.
OpenModel targets multiple use cases and materials with their processing in the fields of environment, aviation and automotive industry. The scope is generic and can thus address all materials modelling, processing and characterization fields. It will become the platform for materials modelling services in Europe.
Hereon will address workflow assessment, evaluation, verification and execution testing as well as contribute to three use-case implementations dedicated to structural and functional materials. Additionally, Hereon is responsible for training activities.
