Scientific visualisation with ParaView - An introduction, 15 December 2021
This course is an introduction to Scientific Visualisation using the ParaView application. ParaView is an open source data analysis and visualisation application. Paraview provides state of the art algorithms and visualisation techniques. It can analyse extremely large data sets and supports a multitude of commonly used data file formats. Paraview is based on the Visualisation Toolkit (VTK), a powerful visualization library for C++ and Python.
ParaView is a very generic visualization tool. This course will give an introduction to the workflow of the application and how to perform basic visualisations. The supported data types and associated attributes will be introduced. Demonstrating how Python can be utilised to generate data files which can be used with ParaView is another focus point of this course.
The course consists out of lectures and hands-on sessions. During the hands-on sessions you will have the opportunity to use ParaView with actual data sets. For the hands on part participants can use LUNARC's Aurora system, if they wish to do so.
The course will be held in English. The course will be taught by Jonas Lindemann from LUNARC.
