VITLES_TO_VTK
Convert VITLES flow solution data to VTK graphics file


VITLES_TO_VTK is a C program which reads files defining a flow in a two-dimensional region, as generated by the VITLES program, and writes out a corresponding VTK graphics file suitable for use by various 3D graphics programs.

The VITLES home page, http://www.icam.vt.edu/ViTLES/, describes the VITLES fluid flow program.

The TECPLOT home page, http://www.tecplot.com/, describes the TECPLOT graphics program.

The Visualization Took Kit home page, http://public.kitware.com/VTK/ describes the VTK file format.

The Paraview home page, http://www.paraview.org/ describes the Paraview 3D graphics program which can display VTK files.

Usage:

vitles_to_vtk rootname step
where reads multiple geometry files of the form rootname.ZONEgeom, solution files rootname.ZONE.STEP, and creates the VTK file rootname.vtk.
