Workflow Templates from Rescale

Getting started with Rescale Workflows just got easier. Workflow templates have been available for building, sharing, and running reusable multi-step simulation pipelines. You can now create new workflows from Rescale-provided templates that cover the most common simulation pipeline patterns — parallel processing, dynamic hardware routing, centralized admin configuration, and AI-agent-enhanced validation. Browse templates directly in the workflow creation flow, run them as-is with your own inputs, or duplicate and customize them to fit your specific needs.

Release Highlights​

What is it?

Four curated workflow templates, maintained by Rescale, are now available to all platform users. When you click + New Workflow, a dedicated “Rescale Templates” section appears below your organization’s templates with a preview canvas so you can see each template’s structure before selecting it. In addition to running these Rescale templates as-is, you can also duplicate and customize them for your use cases.

The four templates are:

  • Pre- and Post-Processing Pipeline — A fan-out/fan-in pattern where a pre-processing job generates multiple input files, parallel solver jobs process them simultaneously, and a post-processing job consolidates the results. Ideal for maximizing throughput on multi-variant simulation runs.
  • Dependent Job Configuration — A Decision node evaluates upstream job metadata (via Custom Fields) and routes execution to the right hardware configuration based on problem size. Automatically right-sizes compute resources so you stop over-provisioning small jobs or under-provisioning large ones.
  • Admin Template / Job Configuration Management — A chain of Decision nodes routes uploaded input files to pre-configured solvers (Abaqus, LS-DYNA, Python) based on file type. Template builders lock down approved software versions and hardware; end users just upload a file and click Run. Built for license compliance, cost control, and team onboarding.
  • Agent-Enhanced Workflow — An Input Validator agent checks your file before the solver runs, and a Troubleshooter agent automatically diagnoses failures and proposes fixes. Catches invalid inputs before compute resources are allocated, saving time and cost.

Why did we build it?

Building a multi-node workflow from scratch requires understanding node types, connections, parameters, and execution patterns. Customers told us they wanted vetted starting points they could learn from and adapt — not just documentation, but working examples they could run immediately. These templates reduce the time from zero to a working workflow from hours to minutes.

How is it used? By whom?

  • Simulation engineers can use templates as a starting point to run common pipeline patterns (parallel processing, conditional routing) without building from scratch.
  • Workflow authors and template builders can duplicate templates and customize them — add solvers, change hardware, modify parameters, and share their versions with their team.
  • IT admins can use templates to enforce standardized solver configurations and control which software versions and hardware are available to end users.
