WATTS

WATTS (Workflow and Template Toolkit for Simulation) consists of a set of Python classes that can manage simulation workflows for one or multiple codes. It provides the following capabilities:

• An isolated execution environment when running a code;
• The ability to use placeholder values in input files that are filled in programmatically;
• Seamless unit conversions when working with multiple codes;
• A managed database that simulation inputs and outputs are automatically saved to; and
• Python classes that provide extra post-processing and analysis capabilities for each code.

Installation

To install watts, run:

python -m pip install watts
