Features
Analyze and Evaluate Grids
After loading your CT or MRI data, mesh the volume with an optimized 3D grid, assign material properties and boundary conditions. Export the result to an
external FEM application to perform simulations and import the output back into
Amira to visualize it.
- Tetrahedral and hexahedral grid visualization
- Tetrahedral grid generation
- Grid analysis and refinement
- Grid parameterization
- Conversion from Tetra to Hexa grids and vice versa
- Boundary condition visualization
- Tensor computation
- Tensor visualization
- Out-of-core tensor computation
Analyze and Visualize Vector Fields
With applications in fluid dynamics, biomechanics, molecular simulation, and biomedicine, Amira´s vector field visualization offers high performance and
quality in representing simulation outputs or experimental 3D data sets.
- Standard vector visualization
- Planar and Surface LIC (line integral convolution)
- Animated illuminated streamline visualization
- Animated cone plot visualization
- Ribbon visualization
- Stream surface
- ROI selection
- Vector probe
- Tetrahedral vector grid
