Modane is a design support tool for numerical simulation codes based on Eclipse.
The continual increasing power of supercomputers allows numerical simulation codes to take into account more complex physical phenomena. Therefore, physicists and mathematicians have to implement complex algorithms using cutting edge technologies and integrate them in large simulators. The CEA-DAM has been studying for several years the contribution of UML/MDE technologies in its simulators development cycle. The Modane application is one of the results of this work.

The latest Modane environment can be downloaded here.
Once the Modane environment has been launched, the Modane perspective should be selected. If it is not the case, just select the Modane perspective from the Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other ... > Modane Project Perspective menu.
The Modane perspective provides a set of Views and wizards shortcuts allowing to easily create and develop Modane models.
From the Model Explorer View in the Modane perspective, just right-click and select New > Modane Project to create a new project:
You can also create it from the File > New > Modane Project main menu.
A new wizard is launched, asking for a project name and a module name:
Just click on the Finish button to create the new project. The new project is available in the Model Explorer View:
It contains one model (modane.project.modaneprj) in the modane.project project.
Several commands are accessible from modane.project.modaneprj:
- New Representation
- Allows to create diagrams on the selected element. Diagrams available depend on the selected element.
- Import UML Model
- The imported UML model will be converted into a Modane model.
- Find Cross References
- Cross references will be displayed in the Search View.
- Create Package
- Create a Modane Package element.
- Generate Code
- Generate C++ code corresponding to the Modane Project.
From the Model Explorer View in the Modane perspective, just right-click and select New > Modane Examples to import the examples project:
You can also import it from the File > New > Modane Examples main menu.
A new wizard is launched:
Just click on the Finish button to import the examples project. The examples project is available in the Model Explorer View:
The Modane preferences are accessible through the Window > Preferences > Modane (or Modane > Preferences > Modane on MacOS) menu.
To build the Modane products for Windows/Linux/MacOS and the Eclipse update-site, you can run the following command from the root of the repository:
mvn clean; mvn verify.
Note the ';' after mvn clean.
The products resulting from the build will be accessible in /releng/fr.cea.modane.updatesite/target/products/Modane-version.yyyymmddHHMM-YOUR_PLATFORM.zip.
The headless products resulting from the build will be accessible in /releng/fr.cea.modane.updatesite/target/products/ModaneHeadless-version.yyyymmddHHMM-YOUR_PLATFORM.zip.
The Eclipse update-site resulting from the build will be accessible in /releng/fr.cea.modane.updatesite/target/fr.cea.modane.updatesite-version.yyyymmddHHMM.zip.
Just install this update-site in an Eclipse with Sirius and Xtext already installed to use Modane. The versions of Eclipse, Sirius and Xtext are listed below.
If you want to skip tests execution, you can run the following command:
mvn clean; mvn verify -Dmaven.test.skip=true
Modane requires Java 11.1 or later to build & run.
