Cloud and web-based platform for dissemination of computational solid mechanics

Academic journals have been traditional channels for sharing knowledge. However, the volume of scientific data often surpasses what journals can accommodate. To foster scientific collaboration and discovery, open science advocates the public distribution of scientists' work. To achieve this, we need user-friendly platforms. This project aims to create a platform for the computational solid mechanics (CSM) community. It will allow describing input, code, and simulation output, facilitating storage on a repository. The platform will support mainstream software and high-performance computing calculations. Access and analysis of results will be web-based. When ready for publication, a simple submission to an open-access repository will be the only requirement. While open-source software exists for some aspects of our proposal, CSM-specific needs require a distributed platform, building on initiatives like Meshio and Renku projects.
