| There is a graphical front-end for Ccaffeine (known as Ccaffeine GUI ) which provides a fairly simple visual programming metaphor for the assembly of applications using CCA components. We at CSDMS are developing a modified version of the Ccaffeine GUI called the CSDMS Modeling Tool to make it easier for the user by providing a better look and feel with many added features as listed below. (We are also working on adding more features and to release an error proof application)
| |
| | |

| == VisIt - Introduction ==
| |
| VisIt is a free interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool for viewing scientific data on Unix and PC platforms. Users can quickly generate visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate them, and save the resulting images for presentations. VisIt contains a rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in a variety of ways. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and unstructured meshes. VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the tera- to peta-scale range and yet can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range.

| === Installation Notes ===
| |
| Notes:
| |
| *You should download the same version of visit installed on beach which is 1.12.2
| |
| *Download visit install script and executable
| |
| **https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/executables.html
| |
| Installation Notes:
| |
| *'''For Mac & Unix'''
| |
| **Download visit install script and executable
| |
| ***Download the executable https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/executables.html
| |
| ***Install Script: Click here https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/1.12.2/visit-install
| |
| ***Copy the script to a text file and save the file as visit-insall
| |
| **Run the visit-install script.
| |
| This will unpack the downloaded tar file and install VisIt in the specified directory. Note that it can create a new distribution directory or update an existing distribution. This is handled automatically. The command to run the script is,
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" lines="0">
| |
| >> visit-install "version" "platform" "directory"
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| where,
| |
| ***'''"version"''' will be 1.12.2 for the current distribution.
| |
| ***'''"platform"''' will be one of the following: aix, aix64-xlc, darwin, irix6, linux-altix, linux-ia64, linux-x86_64, linux_chaos, linux_rhel3, osf1, or sunos5 depending on the machine. The one you use should match the name of the accompanying distribution file.
| |
| ***'''"directory"''' is the directory you wish to install visit into. If the directory doesn't exist the script will create it.
| |
| ***For example: visit-install 1.12.2 linux_rhel3 /usr/local/visit.
| |
| Note that you will need to have the file "visit1_12_2.linux_rhel3.tar.gz" present in the current directory for this to function properly. You can install multiple binaries into the same directory. For example, you could then execute visit-install 1.12.2 linux /usr/local/visit to add a linux, 1.12.2 version of visit to the same directory.
| |
| **Add the bin directory below the installation directory (/usr/local/visit/bin in our example) to each user's search path. The best way to do this is to add it to the user's .cshrc file. The bin directory contains the visit script which starts VisIt. It can be run on many machines. The script determines the type of machine it is running on and starts the appropriate executable. If visit were installed in the directory "/usr/local/visit", then the following commands would set your search path appropriately.
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" lines="0">
| |
| >> cd
| |
| >> echo "set path = ($path /usr/local/visit/bin)" >> .cshrc
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| **To run VisIt type “visit” on the command prompt
| |
| *'''CMT setup for VisIt'''
| |
| **Open CMT, Goto File --> Preferences and enter the following values as shown below.
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash" lines="0">
| |
| >> VisIt
Path(local):
The
path
to
your
local
VisIt
installation.(/usr/local/visit)
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| *'''For Windows'''
| |
| **Copy the file visit1.12.2.exe to your desktop.
| |
| **Double click on the visit1.12.2.exe icon to run the installer.
| |
| **Follow the directions provided by the installer.
