Particles Visuaalisation

Submitted by srguya on Mon, 03/20/2017 - 04:44

Hi

I am facing a challeng in visualising my simulation results properly in Paraview. I am only seing point particles instead of the full spherical shapes. As such all particles sizes visually look the same since they are points. May someone assist on how i can visualise the particles such that they are not points.

Thanks

There is an option in paraview to view the point particles as glyphs. Highlight the particles file in the browser in paraview and click the glyph icon (it's a circular looking button). Then under the glyph options make sure to select it's visual as a sphere scaled to the scalar value of particle radius. There's also two different scaling factors in the options, so just set those to 1.0. A quick Google search for "paraview glyph" should turn up some better instructions.

You could try Ovito (http://ovito.org/), I've had really great success with it in visualizing large datasets on modest hardware.
