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
