Visualization software

Paraview

ParaView is a free visualization package. It can be used in three modes:

• Installed on your desktop: you have to transfer your data to your desktop system

• Interactive process on the cluster: this option is available only for NoMachine NX users (go to Applications menu -> HPC -> Visualisation -> Paraview).

• In client-server mode: The interactive application of ParaView runs on your desktop, while its server component runs on the cluster. The server reads the data, renders the images (no GPU required as ParaView also contains a software OpenGL renderer) and sends the rendered images to the Paraview application on your desktop. Setting up ParaView for this scenario is explained in the following chapters:
