Paraview
During practical simulation one often has the problem to visualize data that have
been computed in a experiment. A possibility is the writing of
VTK files, that can be visualized with the
software Paraview
.
The files end typically with .vtp, .vtu or similar.
The ending characterises the type of stored data, here for example
polygonal or unstructured data sets. Besides there are further parallel
variants, whose ending starts with p.
First Steps
In the pool the software can simply be started with
paraview.
If you login with ssh,
do not forget that the redirection of graphics output from pool machines on your
local computer is performed with the option -X,
ssh -X phlr025@pool.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de
otherwise you get an error message.
Loading of Data
Via
File
Open
For time series you just open the first file, the rest is loaded consecutively.
