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
to open WMT.
Sign in
Sign in to WMT. You can't save or run models unless you're signed in.
Select a model component
In the Model panel, select the driver button. Choose Hydrotrend from the list of components displayed.
Get information
Get information on Hydrotrend. See the link to the component help page on the CSDMS web site.
Edit a parameter
Note that Hydrotrend's parameters have been displayed in the Parameter panel. These are default values. 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.
