CMake 3.22.2 is now available for download

Kitware’s Scientific Computing Team is looking forward to another year of groundbreaking technical advances. Building off of the success our world class open source platforms VTK and ParaView, we will be introducing new capabilities that dramatically increase performance and ease of use; significantly improve end-to-end workflows for large-scale simulation and experimental science; support ongoing advances […]

Context When deploying ParaView in an HPC environment, once all the technical requirements are met, everything is working perfectly and users start to try and use ParaView for actual data post-processing, one of the first questions that may come to mind is how many cores and nodes should be used by ParaView servers ? This […]

As indicated by our progress during 2021 on our NIH "VTK Innovation" R01 grant, we see 2022 as the year of VR/AR and AI for VTK and VTK.js.

Major changes made since ParaView 5.9.1 are listed in this document. The full list of issues addressed by this release is available here. New features Rendering enhancements Plugin updates Filter changes Readers, writers, and filters changes Interface improvements Python scripting improvements Virtual reality improvements Miscellaneous bug fixes and updates Catalyst Cinema Developer notes New features […]

Introduction NetCDF (Network Common Data Form) is a set of libraries and data formats that support creating, accessing, and sharing array-oriented scientific data. The CF Conventions of NetCDF describe what each variable represents in the file, along with the spatial and temporal properties of the data. Initially, the scientific community developed CF Conventions for gridded data produced by […]
