Easy-MODA: Simplify and standardise simulations
Within materials science, there is often the need to combine lots of data and models to facilitate innovation and standardise approaches. One method is to use Easy-MODA, a free web tool that helps researchers document and register the complex modelling workflows they use.
Workflows often combine physics-based models (like quantum simulations) and data-driven models (such as machine learning) to predict material properties, safety, and sustainability. Easy-MODA ensures that these workflows are clearly documented, making them FAIR. Easy-MODA forms part of the Enalos Cloud Platform.
Easy-MODA was described in a recent paper published in Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal that highlighted its key aspects and explained the primary function and benefits of using such a system. The method has also been highlighted in a recent Nanopinion article.
Easy-MODA is supported by the CEN Workshop Agreement on Materials modelling – Terminology, classification and metadata (CWA 17284:2018). CEN, provides a platform for the development of European Standards and other technical documents in relation to various kinds of products, materials, services and processes.
