Streamlining Multi-Scale Materials Modeling with MUSICode

🌟 Materials Minute: Streamlining Multi-Scale Materials Modeling with MUSICode 🌟

In this episode of Materials Minute, we explore a new study—led by Dario Campagna at ESTECO S.p.A.—published in Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation. This paper introduces MUSICODE, a low-code approach designed to transform multi-scale materials modeling workflows into fully executable processes. By leveraging Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), the authors seamlessly connect high-level modeling diagrams with real, repeatable simulations in the MuPIF (Multi-Physics Integration Framework) environment.

Why Does MUSICODE Matter?

It bridges the gap between conceptual MODE/OSMO/ModeGraf diagrams and actual code execution.
It keeps workflows FAIR data compliant—ensuring traceability, reusability, and machine readability.
It caters to industrial R&D scenarios by scaling from atomistic to macro-scale simulations, all with minimal coding.
