Post-processing for LIGGGHTS (Ubuntu package)

Submitted by Luton on Wed, 07/23/2014 - 16:20

Hello Everybody,

I have just download the pre-installed LIGGGHTS (Ubuntu 14.04 package) recently, I wanted to familiarize myself with it before installing it from source code.

I was looking at post-processing for a few days now, I installed paraview 4.0.1, but I still couldn't figure out how set the environment and create an alias correctly.

I am very new to all this stuff ( Liggghts and Linux as well). Could some one please give some simple direct command I could follow for post-processing, either for paraview or pizza.py for both would be more grateful of course.

Thanks,

Luton

The easiest was is to download my ParaView Reader Plugin for LIGGGHTS Dump files:
https://github.com/richti83/ParaView_Reader_for_LIGGGHTS/tree/master/pre...
(Paraview->Tools->Manage Plugins->Load New and don't forget to ckeck [x] Auto Load to on !)

and in your .bashrc add:
alias paraview='$HOME/ParaView/bin/paraview --use-old-panels'

You should name your dump files *.liggghts (in the dump command) so that the reader can recognize them as known.
LPP / Pizza is the old-school-hard-way for PostProzessing I didn't use it since 4 years :-)

Good Luck,
Christian
