Hi Felipe,

I am just adding more info to Andy's response.

Please see my inline responses below.

In brief summary, the purpose of each application in the suite and the data
flow between applications are as follows (Eventually this will be part of
the documentation once we make the source code available to public):
* Points Builder, manipulating scatter point data. The output data can be
used in Scene Builder as terrain info.
* Scene Builder, combining different solids and terrain info for producing
geometric shape of the domain, which can then be consumed by Model Builder.
* Model Builder, modifying topology of the geometric domain so that
SimBuilder can assign appropriate properties to parts of domain boundary.
* Sim Builder (as part of Model Builder), managing simulation info
(material, BC, etc) and exporting these info for various simulation format.
* Mesh Viewer, providing tools to view and manually modify  mesh from
simulation output.

In short, you could have a reader plugin (that can be loaded into
ModelBuilder) to convert your mesh to a format (such as legacy vtk file),
which can then be processed by ModelBuilder.

This blog by Bob Obara, PI of CMB project, will give you an overview for
the project:
