MacOS Modelbuilder Installation Instructions

MacOS Modelbuilder Installation Instructions

  1. Download the dmg file. Open, and copy modelbuilder to “Applications”. Copy the Workflows directory to someplace you can find it later.
  2. Open modelbuilder. MacOS will complain about it not being published by an identified developer. You will need to open up System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab, and allow modelbuilder.
  3. Now open modelbuilder, and this time it should work.
  4. From the top bar, go to modelbuilder -> Preferences -> Sim Pre-Processing tab. From there, scroll to the Workflows Folder section and add the Workflows/Truchas folder you saved earlier.
  5. Go to Tools -> Manage Plugins. Find the plugins smtkProjectManagerPlugin and smtkTruchasPlugin. For each, click the dropdown arrow, then the Auto Load checkbox. Also click Load Selected.
  6. Now you can start a Truchas project. On the top bar you will see a Project menu. Go to Project -> New Project to begin.
