RCE is a plug-in based system written in Java on top of the Eclipse framework. It supports and integrates well known middleware solutions and abstractions layers.
RCE has a focus on the integration of existing applications, exceeding the lifecycle of existing software, and to support the development of new software solutions. It also supports engineers to manage complex simulations. Simulations can consist of workflows with of several simulations codes and supporting tools (e.g., fluid mechanics with structural mechanics, in conjunction with their pre- and post-processors and visualization).
As client, RCE acts as an abstraction layer to the underlying hard- and software. It takes care of important tasks like data management and resource selection while being transparent towards the user.
