Itasca has made it easy to readily export model data from FLAC3D and 3DEC software (version 7+) using the VTK file format via built-in commands to export the following model data (over some range):įor 3DEC: block vtk keyword See Online Documentationįor FLAC3D: zone vtk keyword See Online Documentation More quickly review and analyze results, even while your model continues to run.Easily transfer files from AWS Cloud or remote computers quickly.For example, a FLAC3D save file that is 25 GB can be as small as 160 MB as a ParaView (*.VTU) file. Data files are significantly smaller compared to *.sav files.Allowing for deeper exploration of the modal results or consecration of different interpolations, sections, or design criteria, which is especially useful for very complex, 3D, underground mining designs. Model results are transparent and can be reviewed or analyzed by your team or client.ParaView has been continuously updated and supported for more than 20 years with a vibrant community (support, examples, forums).Time sequence (model steps) can be easily implemented, allowing for visualization of changes over time.with powerful interpolation and interrogation tools. ![]() A large set of tools to for data assessment and visualization.Multiple sub-models can be joined and interrogated as a single dataset.Rapid assessment of large datasets where large (>50 million zones) VTK datasets can be loaded and viewed quickly.Rapid assessment of model input and output: point cloud, VTK, and STL files can be interpolated and assessed rapidly.Quickly render model information and results, including interpolation, sections, and easily generate animations without the need to produce 100's or 1000's of bitmap files.Analyze model results in ParaView while your model continues to run on FLAC3D or 3DEC.ParaView offers two main benefits for extreme, cloud-based modeling: However, ParaView has been optimized for visualizing very large data sets and works with VTK (visual toolkit) library which contains a solid processing and rendering pipeline with many sophisticated visualization algorithms ( Hopfer). Analyzing such large models, especially while they are still running, can be difficult and transferring large save files can be time consuming. Itasca's mining engineering consultants are more routinely running 50 - 100 million zone models using cloud computing. ![]() It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of petascale size as well as on laptops for smaller data, has become an integral tool in many national laboratories, universities and industry, and has won several awards related to high performance computation. ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView’s batch processing capabilities. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application.
