SCEC Virtual Display of Objects (SCEC VDO)

NOTE: This page is under active development. Akash Bhatthal (bhatthal@usc.edu) Oct 4 2024

Researchers and interns at the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) have built a seismic data visualization software tool called the SCEC Virtual Display of Objects (SCEC-VDO). Written in Java with the Swing GUI toolkit to create interactive menus and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to render 3D content, SCEC-VDO allows for the visualization of 3D earthquake and fault objects on maps and the creation of images and movies for analysis, presentation, and publication.

Troubleshooting

v0.1.0 on macOS

As of SCEC-VDO v0.1.0, the macOS application is bundled as a zip file instead of an app file. macOS GateKeeper refuses to execute applications bundled this way by default, regardless of codesigning.

Cannot be Opened Error
App will not run because it's bundled as a zip file

Unauthorized applications cannot be directly executed in the Terminal or opened by double-clicking without making a GateKeeper exception. This is a very simple, one time process that should not take longer than a minute.

Right-click the `launch_max_osx.sh` application, and select "Open with Terminal" and the app should launch. Execution directly in the Terminal works after doing so.

I've created video demonstrations showing exactly how to do this.
