Plot your Ferrite.jl data

FerriteViz.jl

Small package to visualize your Ferrite.jl results. Currently supports only Makie, but the goal is to extend it for different plotting packages.

The package is highly experimental and breaking changes about the internal machinery are about to come. Likely, only a small fraction of the interface will change over time.

Installation

pkg> add FerriteViz

Features

• solutionplot FE solution contour plot on arbitrary finite element mesh (in Makie called mesh plots)
• ferriteviewer viewer with toggles and menus that update the plot
• wireframe plots the finite element mesh and optionally labels nodes and cells
• arrows - also called quiver plots, in paraview glyph filter
• surface 2D solutions in 3D space as surface, in paraview warp by scalar filter
• synchronous plotting while your simulation runs with any of the above listed options
• mutating versions of the above listed functions (except for the viewer)
• deformed plots available for solutionplot and wireframe
• full integration into the Makie ecosystem, e.g. themes, layouts etc.
• GPU powered plotting with GLMakie.jl, jupyter/pluto notebook plotting with WGLMakie.jl and vector graphics with CairoMakie.jl

Missing Features

• correct visualization of nonlinear geometry faces/edges
• visualization of boundary conditions
• subdomain entity plotting, e.g. cellsets, facesets, edgesets and so on
• labels for face, edge, vertex and dof numbering (technically there is no face and edge numbering in Ferrite.jl)
• plotting gradient, divergence or other fields that can be derived from the FE solution
