The CSDMS Web Modeling Tool (WMT) is the web-based successor to the desktop CSDMS Modeling Tool (CMT). WMT allows users to build and run coupled surface dynamics models on a high-performance computing cluster (HPCC) from a web browser on a desktop, laptop or tablet computer.

This article gives a short tutorial on how to use WMT. For an overview of the buttonology of WMT, please see WMT Help.

Open WMT

In a web browser, go to

https://csdms.colorado.edu/wmt

to open WMT.

Sign in

Sign in to WMT. You can't save or run models unless you're signed in. If this is the first time you're signing in to WMT, you'll be prompted to repeat your password.

Select a model component

In the Model panel, select the driver button. Choose Hydrotrend from the list of components displayed.

Get information on the component

Get information on Hydrotrend. Follow the link to the component help page on the CSDMS web site.

Edit a component parameter

When Hydrotrend was selected, its parameters were displayed in the Parameter panel. These are default values for the component. Change the Simulation run time parameter from 100 to 200 days by entering the value 200 in the parameter's value box. Note that you can use scientific notation: 200 could be entered as 2E2. Note the use of "E"; "e" won't work.

Save the model

Give the model a name.

Note that labels are selected: Hydrotrend and your email address. Make a new label that describes this model. (E.g., "tutorial")

Run the model

Standalone mode.

Check the status page.

Download the model output
