This page documents a procedure to visualize AWP-ODC velocity output, using remote Paraview. So far, this procedure has only been tested on Titan using Paraview 4.4.0.

Configure the simulation

When running the AWP-ODC simulation, make sure it is configured to produce velocity output.

Take note of the following parameters:

  • NX, NY, NZ (and NBGX, NEDX, NGBY, NEDY, NGBZ, NEDZ if specified)
  • WRITE_STEP
  • NSKPX, NSKPY, NSKPZ
  • NTISKP

They'll be needed when producing the output.

Create a Paraview XDMF file

Once the simulation is complete, we must create a configuration file which tells Paraview how the velocity data is laid out in memory.

For this, run the script create_timeseries_file.py.

Usage: ./create_timeseries_file.py <X dim in output> <Y dim in output> <grid decimation> <NT in sim> <DT of sim> <NTISKP> <timesteps output per file> <prefix> <output file>

Based on this, a XDMF (XML) file is produced which can serve as input to Paraview.

Create traces

Use local Paraview to connect to remote nodes

Load datasets

Modify visuals

Add timestamp

Change plot colors

Create series of PNGs
