11. Visualization¶
11.1. Introduction¶
DEVSIM
is able to create files for visualization tools. Information about acquiring these tools are presented in External Software Tools.
11.2. Using Tecplot¶
The devsim.write_devices()
is used to create an ASCII file suitable for use in Tecplot
. Edge quantities are interpolated onto the node positions in the resulting structure. Element edge quantities are interpolated onto the centers of each triangle or tetrahedron in the mesh.
write_devices(file="mos_2d_dd.dat", type="tecplot")
11.3. Using Postmini¶
The devsim.write_devices()
is used to create an ASCII file suitable for use in Postmini
. Edge and element edge quantities are interpolated onto the node positions in the resulting structure.
write_devices(file="mos_2d_dd.flps", type="floops")
11.4. Using Paraview¶
The devsim.write_devices()
is used to create an ASCII file suitable for use in ParaView
. Edge quantities are interpolated onto the node positions in the resulting structure. Element edge quantities are interpolated onto the centers of each triangle or tetrahedron in the mesh.
write_devices(file="mos_2d_dd", type="vtk")
One vtu
file per device region will be created, as well as a vtm
file which may be used to load all of the device regions into ParaView
.
11.5. Using VisIt¶
VisIt
supports reading the Tecplot
and ParaView
formats. When using the vtk
option on the devsim.write_devices()
, a file with a visit
filename extension is created to load the files created for ParaView
.
11.6. DEVSIM¶
DEVSIM
has several commands for getting information on the mesh. Those related to post processing are described in Model Commands and Geometry Commands.
See Loading and saving results for information about loading and saving mesh information to a file.
