AB: Driven by modern space-based solar and solar-wind observations, three-dimensional (3D) models of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), both numerical magnetohydrodynamic[1-4] and semi-analytical[5-7], have produced many exciting results. From among the current avenues of model-driven CME research, we shall highlight two areas where STEREO data might be expected to have a significant impact: 1) the near-sun geometrical relationship between the CME, the embedded prominence, and the underlying magnetic structure, and 2) the morphology and dynamics of erupting flux-ropes in the interplanetary medium, especially halo CMEs. We shall discuss the expected impact of STEREO data on "state of the art", model-driven CME research.
