A new tutorial has been published in order to illustrate how to generate particles and streaklines from a velocity vector field and how to animate them.
Three new scripts are now available in the vmtk development version:
- vmtkmeshmergetimesteps: a script used to create a mesh file which will contains all the data relative to the velocity components for each timestep we want to generate traces.
- vmtkparticletracer: a script used to generate traces (VtkPolydata) from a velocity vector field.
- vmtkpathlineanimator: a script used to animate the traces previously generated.
This example shows animated streaklines in a model of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis generated using vmtk and the gnuid CFD solver.
