Pre- and Post-Processing
User InterfaceParticleworks' intuitive user interface lets you handle an entire simulation, from pre-processing through post-processing. You don't have to be an expert to edit simulation parameters or keep track of multiple projects.
The 3D view window features ultra-fast, high-quality OpenGL rendering optimized for large-scale simulation with millions of particles. The window system is highly customizable, letting users compare multiple results side by side. Both Windows and Linux are supported. |

Visualization
Surface Mesh GeneratorSurface meshes can be generated using particle locations, letting users evaluate the behavior of a fluid surface or calculate the area of a surface. Mesh data can be exported to the STL and OBJ formats.
|
Image and Video ExportSimulation results and motion data can be exported to video or sequential image files, as well as still images (screenshots).
The PNG, JPEG, MP4, and WMV formats are supported. |
Grid Data GeneratorThe physical quantities each particle carries can be projected onto grid points. Further visualization including contours, vectors, iso-surfaces, isolines and streamlines can be performed by using the grid data.
|
Probing Particles, and Other ToolsParticles can be selected and probed with a single click. Probe and particle filters allow users to calculate statistics over particles that exist within a certain range (of any quantity) or near a probe point.
Other tools including the color bar, rulers, and time code guides the users through every post-processing step. |
Data Mapping to PolygonsParticle data can be projected onto vertices of a polygon mesh, which can be exported as CSV or binary files. These files can be used as input to third-party mesh-based programs.
|
CSV ExportParticle data can be exported to CSV files, allowing for further data processing on quantities including coordinates, velocity, pressure, number density , and sheer velocity. Force and torque against polygon walls can also be exported.
