Objective/Problem:

• Provide user friendly graphical interface to traditionally console-style simulation tools.
• Enhanced output visualization to provide users new views and perspectives.

Approach:

• Rapid Application Infrastructure (Rappture) nanoHUB.org as hosting center

Results:

• Allowing non-programmers to easily interact with complicated simulation software and focus on their research.
• Automatically post-process results to offer publication quality outputs.
• Free and easy access from nanoHUB.org worldwide.

Impact:

• 20 published simulation tools.
• 8 unpublished/retired.
• 69,000 simulation runs by over 5000 users has benefitted from these tool in their research/study.
