Distribution Introduction. G3D Development

Main Features

In this brief handbook, we describe the major features of the graphical user interface and of the interactive utilities. These include

• data preparation and pre-processing.
• interactive control on remote machines
• visualization tools and post-processing.

The tools and utilities developed for post-processing may be used separately or in tandem to visualize data as it is prepared for simulations or during the course of an interactive session. After a brief introduction to the primary features of the Main Window, we provide three tutorials (see Section 3) which illustrate the use of tools available through G3D. We encourage the user to review these tutorials, but emphasize that the steps described are only suggestive and do not necessarily have to be followed in a precise order. The Tutorials are provided to orient the user and quicky illustrate G3D's code design and capabilities.
