Data Visualisation¶
Main functions for creating visualisations of AvaFrame simulation results can be found in
out3Plot
and out1Peak
.
com1DFA
also offers the possibility to export data on particle properties for visualisation
using the open-source application ParaView.
In order to start analysing particle data of com1DFA
, follow these steps:
in your local copy of com1DFA/com1DFACfg.ini
:
section [GENERAL]: add particles to the resType
section [GENERAL]: set which time steps you want to save at tSteps
section [VISUALISATION]: set writePartToCSV = True and add the particles’ properties you are interested in to the particleProperties
in ParaView
open the particles file located in data/avaDir/Outputs/com1DFA/particlesCSV - there will be one available for each simulation performed containing the info on all saving time steps
apply the filter TableToPoints and set X, Y, Z for the X, Y, Z columns
switch to the RenderView: you can look at all the different particle properties you have saved for all exported time steps
it is also possible to save an animation over all time steps
