The Data Visualization tab enables the user to load the fluid flow field, the particle trajectories, or the spatial particle distribution for 3D visualization in the Visualization area of the GeoDict GUI.
Load Particles loads the particle data and allows displaying the particles and their trajectories. The number of particles to be loaded is shown and the user can select to load only part of them by specifying the value of Load Every n-th Particle.
Load Flow Field loads the results of the fluid flow simulation, saved in the file FlowField.vap in the result folder.
Load Spatial Particle Distribution File loads a field of particle numbers, which contains the particles per voxel at a certain point in time. The file to be loaded can be selected from the pull-down menu on left side and the file name consists of an index number with 5 digits and the time step value in scientific notation. Those files are available if the Compute Spatial Particle Distribution box in the Results tab is checked, and there is a *.num file available for each time step. Options for computing the spatial particle distribution are explained here.
The additional file ParticleDistribution_Mean.num, contains the mean particle number over all time steps.
Load All Particle Distribution Files loads all *.num files with spatial particle distribution available and lists them under Volume Fields in the left part of the GUI. The spatial particle distribution of each file can be accessed by double clicking Number. The distribution is loaded and visualized in the Visualization Area of the GUI. The files already loaded once appear in black in the list and can be accessed much faster since they are kept in memory.
