User Interface & Job Search
Managing simulation workflows should be simple, intuitive, and efficient. That's exactly what we've focused on in MATOFX SPDM™.
MATOFX SPDM™ delivers a modern user experience that makes simulation management easier for both modelling Teams and business Users.
In the Home page you can see what’s running, you can access your recent Projects, Jobs and Studies. You can also launch common actions through the Quick Access functionality and search across Projects, Jobs, Studies with a powerful global search.
As simulation environments grow, so does the number of Jobs. Our enhanced Job Search helps you quickly locate exactly what you need, whether you're searching by Project, Scenario, Tool, Workflow, Job Name, or simply the Job ID.
You can view completed Jobs and download simulation files, plots, summaries, reports, and outputs by opening a Job. You can find unfinished Jobs, identify them by their status and complete them directly, as well as compare selected Jobs to analyse results more effectively.
The consistent interface across every page, collapsible navigation menu, light and dark themes, integrated help and tutorials, favourites for frequently used Tools and Workflows, and personalised account settings all help users work more efficiently.
With MATOFX SPDM™, finding, managing, and reviewing simulations is faster and more intuitive than ever.
Creating Projects, Scenarios, Jobs & Custom Workflows
MATOFX SPDM™ makes creating and managing simulation Jobs faster and more intuitive than ever.
Projects, Scenarios, and Jobs follow a clear structure, making it easy to organise simulations. Simply create or select a Project and Scenario, choose the required Tools or Workflows, and launch your Job immediately. You can also decide to save it for later.
Need to get started even faster? Quick Access lets you launch your favourite Tools and Workflows directly from the Home page with just a few clicks. MATOFX validates your inputs, queues the Job automatically, and once complete, you can view and download simulation files, plots, summaries, reports, and other outputs.
For more advanced automation, Custom Workflows allow you to combine multiple Tools into a reusable Workflow. MATOFX automatically determines the correct execution order, running independent Tools in parallel where possible to improve efficiency. Save and share your Workflows with your Team to standardise and accelerate your simulation processes.
Comparing Jobs, Workflows & Scenarios
Making informed simulation decisions starts with clear comparisons. MATOFX SPDM™ lets you compare Jobs, Workflows, and Scenarios side by side, with differences clearly highlighted.
Quickly find the runs you need using filters for Tool, Project, name, or run number, then compare inputs, outputs, plots, graphs, and overlaid charts to instantly see what changed. You can also compare entire Workflows or Scenarios, with matching workflow steps aligned automatically.
Once your analysis is complete, download input/output summaries, simulation files, or generate a comparison report in interactive HTML or PDF format for sharing and documentation.
Job Cohorts
As simulation data grows, organising related Jobs becomes increasingly important. Job Cohorts make it easy to group, track, and analyse completed simulation runs.
Simply create a new Cohort, give it a name and description, and select a Tool. MATOFX SPDM™ automatically finds all completed runs for that Tool, with options to refine the Cohort by Tool version, input ranges, or completion date.
Choose between a live, auto-growing Cohort that automatically includes future matching Jobs, or a fixed Cohort that preserves a curated set of simulation runs for consistent analysis.
Parametric Studies
Understanding how design inputs affect Simulation results is key to making better decisions. MATOFX SPDM™ makes it easy to set up and analyse Parametric Studies, helping you explore your design space efficiently while reducing cost, time, and risk.
Choose from a range of sampling methods, including Latin Hypercube, Sobol, Central Composite, Fractional Factorial, and Plackett-Burman, to generate the right study for your objectives.
Once complete, MATOFX SPDM™ provides powerful visualisation and analysis tools, including response and distribution plots, scatter plots, parallel coordinates, sensitivity analysis, ANOVA, response surfaces, prediction profiling, surrogate modelling, and Pareto analysis. These interactive insights help you identify key design drivers, understand trade-offs, optimise performance, and confidently explore "what-if" scenarios.
The results can also be used as seed runs for Optimisation, organised into Job Cohorts, or used to build Surrogate Models, creating a seamless workflow from exploration to optimisation.
Optimisation Studies
Finding the best design doesn't have to rely on trial and error. MATOFX SPDM™ automates the optimisation process, intelligently searching for the input combinations that deliver the best possible results based on your objectives.
Simply define the inputs to vary, set fixed parameters, choose whether to minimise or maximise your target outputs, and select an optimisation strategy. MATOFX SPDM™ then performs the search automatically, learning from each simulation to efficiently explore the design space.
Track optimisation progress in real time, analyse convergence, and, if needed, continue a completed study with additional runs, without losing what has already been learned.
Powerful visualisations, including the Design Space Explorer and Pareto Front, help you understand correlations, trade-offs, identify the best-performing designs, and make confident decisions. Once complete, you can download reports, plots, simulation outputs, and use the results to build Surrogate Models or support further design exploration.
Surrogate Models
Why wait hours for simulation results when you can get reliable predictions in seconds?
MATOFX SPDM™ enables you to build Surrogate Models - lightweight predictive models that learn from existing simulation data and deliver near-instant results. Models can be created from Parametric Studies, Optimisation Studies, or curated Job Cohorts, making the most of the simulations you've already performed.
Choose the most suitable modelling method, compare model accuracy using built-in goodness-of-fit metrics, and publish trusted Surrogate Models as reusable Tools for yourself, your project Team, or your entire organisation.
By dramatically reducing computation time, Surrogate Models accelerate virtual prototyping, design exploration, and decision-making.
File Library & Materials Database
Consistent Simulation results start with trusted data. MATOFX SPDM™ provides centralised File Library and Materials Database to ensure your Team always work with validated, reusable inputs.
The File Library stores version-controlled Simulation inputs such as geometry, meshes, and boundary conditions. Files can be managed at a Personal, Project, or Global level, making it easy to reuse trusted data, maintain provenance, and ensure teams are always using the latest approved versions.
The Materials Database offers governed, versioned Material definitions with validated Properties. Material Classes ensure all required properties are captured, helping standardise material data and improve simulation consistency across projects.
Powerful search capabilities make it easy to find the Files and Materials you need, while version control and lifecycle management help maintain quality and traceability throughout your workflows.
Explore Database
Understanding what's happening across your Simulation platform is essential for governance, troubleshooting, and traceability.
MATOFX SPDM™ includes powerful administration features such as Audit Logs, Usage Statistics, Data Lineage, and Explore Database.
The Explore Database feature provides secure, read-only access to system data, allowing administrators to investigate Jobs, monitor system health, browse database tables, and analyse user activity. All of this from a single interface.
Use built-in filtering and sorting Tools to quickly find the information you need, inspect Job logs, review diagnostics, and explore detailed user activity, including Projects, Jobs, Workflows, Studies, and audit history. Results can also be exported for reporting and analysis.
User and Access Management
Managing users securely and efficiently is simple with MATOFX SPDM™. Super Users and administrators can organise Users into Teams, assign Roles and Capabilities, and control access to features, Tools, and Workflows, all from a central administration interface.
Create and manage Teams, update user accounts, and use powerful search and filtering tools to quickly find users or assign access. With flexible Access Rights Groups and Capabilities, permissions can be tailored to each user's responsibilities, ensuring they have exactly the access they need, and no more.
Creating new Users is equally straightforward. Assign a Base Role, add optional Capabilities, manage Tool Approvers, reset passwords, or update account details, all while maintaining secure governance through the principle of least privilege.
Custom Workflows & Project Metadata
Standardise your simulation processes while keeping the flexibility to work your way. MATOFX SPDM™ lets you build Custom Workflows by combining multiple Tools into a reusable workflow that automatically executes in the correct order.
Simply select the Tools you need, save the Workflow, and launch it from the Home page or within a Project. MATOFX automatically transfers data between workflow steps, runs independent Tools in parallel where possible, and removes the need for manual data handling. Custom Workflows can also be shared, duplicated, archived, and managed through the Workflow Inspector.
MATOFX also supports Project Metadata, allowing organisations to capture consistent project information such as budget codes or applicable regions or anything else that you'd need recorded. Configurable metadata fields improve search, reporting, and governance while ensuring important project information is captured in a structured way.
Tutorials Management & Notifications
Help users get the most from your Simulation platform with built-in Tutorial Management and Notifications.
MATOFX SPDM™ allows administrators to upload and manage PDF guides and video tutorials for Tools and Workflows, making learning resources available exactly where users need them. Tutorials are version controlled, easy to update, and can be organised as general guidance or linked to specific Tools and Workflows.
Need to communicate with your users? The Notifications feature makes it simple to send announcements to selected users, Teams, Access Rights Groups, or your entire organisation. Customisable templates, attachments, and targeted recipient lists ensure important updates are delivered clearly and efficiently.
Lineage & General Settings
Trust and governance are at the heart of MATOFX SPDM™. The Data Lineage feature provides complete traceability, allowing you to see exactly how a Job, Workflow, Study, or result was produced and who generated what, from its original inputs through every intermediate step to the final output.
Explore relationships in interactive graph or table views, navigate directly to linked records, and export lineage information for reporting or integration with other Tools. Whether validating results or investigating unexpected outcomes, Data Lineage provides complete transparency.
MATOFX also includes comprehensive General Settings for administrators, enabling organisation-wide configuration from a single location. Control which features are available to users, configure data retention policies, customise branding, set security and session preferences, and manage support and maintenance settings, all without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Usage Statistics
Understanding how your simulation platform is being used is essential for improving performance, optimising resources, and driving adoption. That's exactly what the Usage Statistics area in MATOFX SPDM™ delivers.
Designed for administrators, Usage Statistics provides a comprehensive view of platform activity, including Jobs, compute consumption, reliability, user adoption, licence utilisation, infrastructure, and live activity.
Powerful filters make it easy to analyse usage by period, team, role, or execution target, while exportable reports and email sharing simplify communication with stakeholders.
Whether you're tracking resource consumption, monitoring system reliability, understanding user engagement, or viewing live Jobs in real time, MATOFX SPDM™ gives you the insights needed to make informed decisions.
Tools & Workflows
At the heart of MATOFX SPDM™ are Tools and Workflows, making it easy to build, manage, and automate simulation processes.
Authorised Users can create and version simulation Tools through an intuitive interface, defining inputs, outputs, validation rules, KPIs, approvals, and user access - all without changing existing Jobs. Dynamic forms and built-in validation help deliver a consistent and reliable user experience.
Workflows take automation a step further by linking multiple Tools together. MATOFX SPDM™ automatically transfers data between Tools, helping Users build repeatable, end-to-end simulation processes that are easy to deploy and share across the organisation.
Migrate Tools & Workflows and Execution Environments
Deploying simulation tools and scaling compute resources should be straightforward, secure, and reliable. That's exactly what Tool & Workflow Migration and Execution Environments in MATOFX SPDM™ are designed to achieve.
Administrators can seamlessly migrate Tools and Workflows between MATOFX installations, such as from a staging environment to production, with preview validation before import to ensure a smooth deployment.
Execution Environments make it easy to run simulation Jobs where they make the most sense: locally, on dedicated remote servers, or on HPC clusters. Secure credential management, shared storage, and flexible execution targets ensure compute resources can be managed efficiently while maintaining security and control.
Simulation Approvals
Effective simulation management is about more than running Jobs—it's about ensuring the right activities are reviewed, approved, and fully traceable. That's exactly what the Approvals & Governance capabilities in MATOFX SPDM™ are designed to provide.
MATOFX SPDM™ enables organisations to control simulation execution through configurable approval workflows. Tools can require approval before a Job runs, after it completes, or both, with support for individual and bulk approvals, clear audit trails, and email notifications.
The same governance extends to Parametric Studies and Optimisations, ensuring that computationally expensive, safety-critical, or compliance-sensitive activities receive the appropriate oversight. Combined with dedicated curator roles and advanced governance capabilities, MATOFX SPDM™ helps organisations manage simulation activities with confidence, consistency, and accountability.
Verification and Validation (V&V)
Confidence in simulation results comes from more than powerful models - it comes from knowing they have been verified, validated, and backed by evidence. That's exactly what the Verification & Validation (V&V) capabilities in MATOFX SPDM™ provide.
MATOFX SPDM™ enables organisations to maintain a complete, traceable record of verification and validation for both Tools and individual simulation Jobs. Evidence, standards, reviewer approvals, and validation ranges are all captured in one place, ensuring every claim is transparent, auditable, and easy to review.
With built-in approval workflows, V&V badges, version-aware record management, and direct integration with Jobs and Tools, Users can quickly understand the confidence behind every simulation result while supporting quality assurance and governance across the organisation.
Results Warehouse and Audit Log
Simulation data is only valuable if it's easy to find, analyse, and trust. That's exactly what the Results Warehouse and Audit Log in MATOFX SPDM™ are designed to deliver.
The Results Warehouse automatically gathers Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from completed Jobs into a single, searchable location. Instead of opening individual Jobs to compare results, Users can filter, analyse trends over time, compare selected Jobs, and export exactly the data they need.
The Audit Log provides a complete, tamper-evident history of system activity, helping organisations meet security, governance, and compliance requirements. Powerful filtering and export capabilities make it easy to investigate changes, trace actions, and support audits with confidence.
