FAIR data management for physics and engineering simulation with open-source and commercial codes relevant to Fusion

openSPDM Ltd

This tutorial provides an introduction to the technology of Simulation Data Management which has been developed for engineering and physics simulation over the past two decades. World leading organisations run all their analysis, modelling and simulation on platforms with a de-facto industry standard database schema.
A standard approach is particularly relevant to fusion, as the reactor is a highly coupled complex system, so data from each domain needs to be FAIR (Findable, Accessible. Interoperable, Reusable) to colleagues in other domains and organisations. The use of the same schema makes it easy to search for and reference other researchers data. While most fusion-specific codes are open-source, commercial codes are widely used for Structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, etc so the data management solution should also address commercial codes.
