WMT Help

The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool (WMT) is the web-based successor to the desktop CSDMS Modeling Tool (CMT). This article provides documentation for the components and controls of the WMT interface.

As shown in Figure 1, the WMT interface is divided into three main panels, the Header panel, the Model panel and the Parameters panel.

The Header panel provides an email box and a password box for a user to sign in to WMT. A user must be signed in to WMT to create, save and run models.

The Model panel is where a standalone or a coupled model can be created. This panel provides a series of buttons that allow a user to open, save, and run models, as well as a tree structure which can be used to design a standalone or a coupled model.

Though initially blank, the Parameters panel is where the parameters of the model components displayed in the Model panel can be viewed and edited. Type and range checks are performed immediately on any parameter that is modified.

Details on the Model panel and the Parameters panel are provided in the following sections.
