Very interesting, making simulations "easy and accessible" really resonates with me having spent far too many years single handedly trying to get traction for my "easy to use" engineering physics, FEA, and PDE ideas and simulation tools [1]. I would be very interested in collaborations if anyone from hash.ai (or anyone else) is reading this and ever think of including/or moving in to the "easy to use" PDE based simulation space.

I've been thinking about these kinds of things a bit. PDE and FEA seem core to lots of interesting simulations. From chemistry and climate to engineering.

Firedrake [1] and Fenics [2] seem like interesting approaches to this. I know that firedrake is being explored for some climate modelling with fluidity project [3][4].

The value of any simulation platform is based on the value of the models and datasets in that platform. So the key question is, can you attract the people making the valuable models to your platform. Working with things that people are already using seems important, as does talking to those people about it. I've got a Google form asking questions currently to try to get more information about what people who currently make and use simulations need. [5]
