ReadKiva

The module reads data sets written by KIVA.

Support for ReadKiva discontinued - use at your own risk.

SGI only - no LINUX support

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
path	Browser	The basic data file location.
numt	Scalar	The desired number of timesteps.
skip	Scalar	The desired number of skipped timesteps. This parameter is optional and it's useful when you have a big number of timesteps and you want to skip some of them.
format	Choice	The format of the input data: double or float.
pfactor	Scalar	The desired factor for reducing the number of particles for each timestep.

Output Ports

Name	Type	Description
outputmesh	UnstructuredGrid	the grid
outputvelocity	Vec3	Velocity vector data
outputpressure	Float	Pressure scalar data
outputrho	Float	Density scalar data
outputvol	Float	Volume scalar data
outputtemperature	Float	Temperature scalar data
outputamu	Float	Viscuosity scalar data
outputtke	Float	Turbulence and kinetic energy scalar data
outputeps	Float	Epsilon scalar data
outputparticles	Points	The particles represented by points
outputpvelocity	Vec3	Particle velocity vector data
outputptemperature	Float	Particle temperature scalar data

The next images show the results in the Inventor Renderer of the data read by ReadKiva module and transformed by the other modules of the map. You can see (for different timesteps) the changes of vector fields, data on the plane and the isosurfaces.
