Introduction to Scientific Visualisation with ParaView

April 17 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Annotation

NCC Netherlands and NCC Czechia are inviting you to the course Introduction to Scientific Visualisation with ParaView.

This foundational course introduces participants to the fundamentals of scientific visualisation using ParaView, an accessible and powerful open-source tool widely utilised in academic and professional settings. Attendees will embark on a structured exploration, starting with a clear distinction between scientific visualisation and information visualisation, setting the stage for understanding their respective roles and applications.

Through guided instruction, participants will acquire a solid grasp of the ParaView data model and pipelines, learning how to navigate and manipulate data effectively. Practical exercises will enable attendees to apply these concepts hands-on, gaining confidence in performing basic visualisation tasks and experimenting with various data types.

By the conclusion of this introductory course, participants will have developed a foundational skill set in leveraging ParaView for scientific visualisation. Equipped with this knowledge, attendees will be poised to explore advanced techniques and applications further, laying a solid groundwork for continued growth and proficiency in the field.
