nextGEMS simulations overview#
Introduction#
This page provides a centralized list of available simulations, along with key details such as their purpose, model version, known issues, and licensing information. The goal is to help users—especially those not directly involved in model development—quickly find relevant simulations and assess their suitability for specific use cases.
Please note that the information presented here is not complete and may not always be fully up to date. We encourage everyone to contribute by adding missing details, updating existing entries, or providing feedback. If you have additional information about a simulation, please help improve this resource by submitting a pull request or opening an issue via Git. Together, we can ensure that this page remains a valuable and accurate reference for the entire community!
