VTK Files - geomechanics/mpm GitHub Wiki

VTK files (.vtp) will be generated based on the user inputs within the "post-processing" section of the input file (see Explicit Single Phase MPM wiki page).

ParaView is the recommended visualization software for the generated files.

  • Meshes are best represented as a surface type (default setting)
  • Material points are best represented as a Point Gaussian type. You can set this within the Properties menu: look under Display (GeometryRepresentation) and set Representation dropdown as Point Gaussian).
