MatVisual 2.3 - facts 

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
