Supported Data Structures and Features
MatVisual offers a diverse range of data structures and visualization capabilities, making it a powerful tool for scientific and engineering applications.

 

Supported Data Structures

  • Particle Flow – Ideal for particle-based fluid flow models, including Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH).
  • Lattice Flow – Suitable for lattice-based models such as the Lattice Boltzmann Equation (LBE) and Lattice-Gas Automata (LGA)/Cellular Automata (CA).
  • Domain Flow – Designed for computational electromagnetics in multiphase and multi-domain materials using quadrangular lattice structures.
  • Phase-Field – Enables visualization of material microstructures, with or without texture information, including microstructure evolution in materials processing, solute distribution, and temperature variations.
  • Molecular and Crystal Structures – Supports visualization of molecular and crystalline structures with or without bonds. Atom and bond size/color can be adjusted, making it suitable for representing microscale material structures.
  • Spherical Particles in 3D Space – Displays spherical particles of varying sizes with customizable classified colors, ideal for demonstrating spatial configurations with weight factors.
  • 3D Data Points – Allows visualization of dots in 3D space with adjustable size and color, useful for representing data configurations.
  • Colored 3D Data Points – Enables plotting of color-coded dots with size variations, where colors are predefined in data files, making it suitable for illustrating spatial distributions of multiple parameters.
  • Irregular Lattice Structures – Supports visualization of data in irregular lattice arrangements.
  • Numerical calculations for Cartesian equations: z=f(x,y)
  • Numerical solutions for polar equations: r=f(θ,ϕ)
  • Data comparison with numerical solutions of the above equations

Key Output Features

  • Property distribution on surfaces, cross-sections, or volumes
  • Visualization of phase or domain boundaries
  • Representation of material grain textures
  • ISO-surface visualization of properties or phases
  • Contour line distribution in planes
  • Flow velocity visualization in planes or volumes
  • Streamline visualization in planes or volumes
  • Support for plotting sequential data files and exporting as movie files

Limitations - MatVisual is not suitable for:

  • Mobile phone installations
  • General-purpose painting and drawing applications
