SimDOME aims to develop an industry-ready software framework for materials modelling interoperability, based on EU/EMMC standards on materials modelling, by combining, further developing and adapting existing software developed within previous EU FP7-NMP projects SimPhoNy and MoDeNa, the H2020-NMBP project NanoDome and the FP7 ERC-AdG STRATUS. SimDOME achieves the highest level of interoperability through the standardization of the material users case (i.e. the material/process to be simulated, according to EMMC definitions) that are provided within the SimDOME framework by means of the European Materials Modelling Ontology (EMMO). User case standardization will allow data communications between software by translating the concept of each specific implementation to the standard unified concepts and interfaces provided by the ontology. The framework will provide also ready-to-use modules that cover different industrial applications and materials modelling fields spanning through multiple scales. The demonstration of the exploitation potential of the framework will be done within project by testing the SimDOME framework prototype and each integrated modelling software in their respective industrial operational environments (TRL 7) in the fields of gas and liquid phase material synthesis, molecule characterization and chemical kinetics. SimDome will integrate and provide the upscaled software and services for maintenance and support via the existing and future European Materials Modelling Marketplace (EMMM), the network of modelling translation environments and the Open Innovation modelling test beds.
