Output #

There are two types of output in the GUI, the 3D visualization in the upper part, and the console output in the lower part.

3D visualization #

Disclaimer Visualization in our software is only to have a quick peek into the data rather than for comprehensive visualization or data exploration. For more complicated visualization, we recommend using the software Paraview developed by Kitware. Or you can choose any software that supports the .vti format.

To visualize the 3D data .vti output files:

1. Select a file: Use this dropdown menu to select available vti files in the folder that you have exported the most recent input.xml file.
2. Load data: Click to load the data from the selected vti file into the visualization area. The default behavior is to visualize the first data array component in the file.
3. Select a component: If the file you selected has more than one component to visualize, you need to use this dropdown menu to select different component of the vti data file. The name of the component is set to be "Scalar_" + index of the component, so you must know ahead of time, what is stored in each data array.

Console output #

Some GUI operations, such as registration, loading preference, and print out information from running a simulation will be printed to the console output area.
