Tomviz is a cross platform, open source application for the processing, visualization, and analysis of 3D tomographic data. Here the full pipeline of data processing steps from reconstruction to visualization to analysis of 3D data can be presented, saved, and restored. A suite of Python tools for 3D analysis is packaged to accommodate custom algorithms. […]

We have a new Open Chemistry DOE SBIR Phase II project developing integration of chemical and materials data within Jupyter coupled with a data server/job execution logic. Previously we wrote up some of the early results in a blog post, and presented the platform at JupyterCon in August of this year. In the last few months […]

The second release candidate for VTK 8.2.0 is ready to try. You can get it from the downloads page, http://www.vtk.org/download/#candidate or from git with the 8.2.0.rc2 tag. The changes over rc1 consist of a handful of bug fixes, most notably a change to fix python wheel building. Things could turn up in testing of course, but I […]

ParaView lets users customize shortcuts, favorite filters and read more types of data. Kitware, in combination with the ParaView development community, made the second major release of ParaView this year, version 5.6. “ParaView now has more facilities for customizing user interfaces,” said Berk Geveci, the senior director of scientific computing at Kitware. “These facilities can […]

The VTK maintenance team is happy to announce that VTK 8.2 has entered the release candidate stage! You can find the source, data and documentation tarballs here: http://www.vtk.org/download/#candidate Take a look at the VTK wiki for a complete list of API changes in v8.2.0 over the previous version. Please try this version of VTK, and […]

ParaView 5.6.0 Release Notes Major changes made since ParaView 5.5.2 are listed in this document. The full list of issues addressed by this release is available here. General Notes State file compatibility with ParaView 4.2 State files from ParaView 4.1 or earlier are no longer supported. To update state files from ParaView 4.1 or earlier, […]

I am proud to announce the third CMake 3.13 release candidate. https://cmake.org/download/ The first 3.13.0 release candidates included a change to allow generator expressions in “install(CODE)” and “install(SCRIPT)”. This has been reverted in rc2 due to breaking backwards compatibility. See issue 18435. Documentation is available at: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.13 Release notes appear below and are also published […]

As Andy Bauer described a long while back in the Kitware blog, ParaView provides a way to generate more efficient batch scripts for temporal data processing. The strategy is to make the temporal domain the primary axis of parallel decomposition in an MPI job. That is, groups of nodes in a cluster simultaneously process different […]

The molecule framework in VTK and ParaView has recently been improved. In this blog we quickly introduce the new features. Note that the features presented below are available in ParaView 5.6 and VTK master branch (thus in next release VTK 8.2). Conversion Between vtkMolecule and vtkPointSet Two new filters enable converting vtkMolecule into vtkPolyData (mesh […]

We are happy to announce the first beta release for ITK 5! Source code (zip) Source code (tar.gz) This release features an additional, more Pythonic interface to filters. This interface is more familiar in Python and facilitates rapid prototyping. ITK 5.0 Beta 1 also includes many performance-related improvements, such as a pure C++11 thread pool […]

Two techniques that are used by simulations are geometric refinement (also known as hierarchical refinement, or h-refinement) and polynomial refinement (also known as p-refinement). Traditional simulations often apply geometric refinement, which splits cells with low accuracy to resolve finer spatial features. More recent finite element simulations may also apply polynomial refinement. This technique enhances existing […]

We are pleased to announce the release of Tomviz 1.4 (GitHub release page). This release rounds out many of the big changes we made to our pipeline, state file, and related functionality in the 1.3 release. The state file, which is now saved as JSON, reflects the hierarchy shown in the application more directly, and […]
