Visualize Heat Transfer

Submitted by quincy.suehr on Wed, 06/11/2014 - 16:06

I would like to visualize a simulation of heat transfer from particle to particle using Paraview and vtk format. Is there an expedient way to do this? Perhaps editing the dump_atom_vtk.cpp code to add Temperature/Heat properties to the write_data functions would be the most optimal?

Any insight or recommendations would be extremely helpful

Hi Quincy,

using lpp will also solve your problem. You can also visualize the directional heat flux per particle so you get a vector field of the heat flux. See the doc for fix heat gran/conduction for details
