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 you compare multiple results side by side. Both Windows and Linux are supported. |

Visualization
Surface Mesh GeneratorSurface meshes can be generated using particle locations, letting you evaluate the behavior of a fluid surface or calculate the
area of a surface. Mesh data can be exported in the STL and OBJ formats. 
|
Grid Data GeneratorYou can project the physical quantities each particle carries onto grid points.
With the grid data, you can perform further visualization including contour,vector, isosurface, isoline and streamline. 
|
CSV ExportYou can export particle data 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. 
|
Image and Video ExportYou can export simulation results and motion data to video or sequential image files, as well as still images (screenshots).
The PNG, JPEG, AVI, and MPEG formats are supported. |
Probing Particles, and Other ToolsYou can pick and probe a particle with a single click. With probe and particle filters, you can calculate statistics over particles that exist in a certain range (of any quantity), or near a probe point.
Other tools including the color bar, rulers, and time code will guide you through every step of post-processing. |
Data Mapping to PolygonsYou can also project particle data onto vertices of a polygon mesh, which can be exported as CSV or binary files. You can use the files as input to third-party mesh-based programs.
