Processing Sopale Output

IDL_M-S Scripts

The original system is IDL_M-S Scripts, written by Sergei Medvedev.
Usage: Take a copy of the IDL programs, and modify them to make your plot.

• Postprocessing in IDL (PDF document by Mai Nguyen)
• Table containing descriptions of some variables in the IDL_M-S scripts

bmnt_library

bmnt_library is a collection of shell scripts, IDL programs, objects, and subroutines designed for processing the output files of sopale.
Usage: edit the xml input file, run program.

sopale2vtk

sopale2vtk converts the sopale type 1 and type 2 files to vtk format. a VTK viewer (Mayavi2, Paraview) can be used to display the data.
usage:

   sopale2vtk <dir> <run_name> <LS | SS> <frame>
   where:
     <dir>      - directory where sopale_nested output files are
     <run_name> - the sopale_nested run_name (nameout1) 
     <LS or SS> - select LS or SS (the nest) data.
     <frame>    - two-digit frame number.

Since sopale_nested version 2009-07-26_23.0 .

scan_matlabfile

scan_matlabfile reads sopale matlab output and produces text files:

• coordinates and eulerian velocities (at the center of each column) of the surface.
• height and depth of a given material.

• Use sopale_plot to create a multi-page postscript file <file>.ps
• Use "identify" to determine the size (width x height) of the image:
  identify <file>.ps
• Use "gv" to decide how much white space to cut off the top; get height2.
  gv <file>.ps
• Use "convert" to make the animated gif:
  convert -page <width>x<height2> <file>.ps -delay 200 -loop 0 -rotate -90 <file>.gif
