Data Visualization#

This section will cover tools and workflows for visualizing simulation results within XCOMPUTE-CLIENT and external applications.

Overview#

XCOMPUTE supports multiple visualization pathways:

  • In-Scene Rendering: Real-time OpenGL visualization of fields, vectors, and tensors

  • Export Formats: VTU, CSV, XCO for ParaView, MATLAB, Python, and custom tools

  • Interactive Probes: Time-series extraction, cross-sections, and iso-surfaces

Supported Visualizations#

Integration with External Tools#

XCOMPUTE-CLIENT can launch external visualization software directly from the interface. Configure file associations in extensions.cfg:

vtu=paraview --special-options
csv=excel /path/to/file.csv

Coming Soon#

  • Animated time-series playback controls

  • Custom shader-based field rendering

  • Real-time probe data streaming

  • Cloud-based collaborative visualization sessions
