Numerical modeling has a long history in climate and weather forecasting, with advancements being made continually over the last century due to technological progress. In the early 2000s, the development of ICON as an icosahedral grid-based, nonhydrostatic model started. It is Germany's primary model for weather predictions and climate studies (https://www.icon-model.org/). ICON is a flexible,...
A rapidly emerging community is developing and publishing several software components and application cases on top of the coupling library [preCICE][1] for partitioned simulations. While several community-building measures have led to more users and contributors, the resulting contributions are often not readily findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. The DFG project [preECO][2]...
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is extensively used in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering,
and Construction) industry to optimize processes throughout the design, construction, and
operation of buildings and to promote collaboration among stakeholders. Despite long-standing
efforts to facilitate interoperability through open standards, most notably the Industry Foundation
Classes...
Energy research software (ERS) plays a vital role because it enables and supports numerous tasks in energy research. The complexity of ERS ranges from simple scripts and libraries, e.g., for Python, to full software solutions. [1]
ERS is often developed by energy researchers with diverse backgrounds (e.g., physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, social...
