the tutorial about the vpic data #134

Closed wangzhezhe closed 3 years ago

wangzhezhe commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I could compile the vpic and execute the sample application based on readme, where could I get further information such as how to visualize the simulation data base on paraview and more details about the vpic data?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,

Thanks for your question. I'll provide some details below, but also check out: https://github.com/lanl/vpic/issues/94

There is sadly not a tutorial (per se), but the python scripts in the above issue are a good starting place to figuring out how to read the data output from VPIC

For extreme scale jobs we have a different workflow

We are also working on an HDF5 backend which will make this much simpler for users, but that does not currently support fine grained output support

Thanks a lot for the information ! @rfbird I noticed that there is a specific vpic reader for the paraview (https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/List_of_readers), how could we get data in that format ?(with suffix .vpic)
