Interactive Data Analysis & Scientific Visualization with Paraview

Online

Scientific visualization of large datasets allows you to identify critical areas and vulnerabilities during the design process so that you can focus efforts, cut design time and create a better product. This workshop will introduce participants to scientific visualization on both a conceptual and practical level. Following an overview, the session will focus on teaching participants how to use the open-source Paraview visualization software on their own desktop. This will be followed by a demonstration on how open source Paraview can be used on a supercomputer for datasets that are too large for desktop or workstations. This is a beginner, hands-on workshop for R&D engineering or scientific staff with no scientific visualization experience.
