MuView2 is an OVF (version 1 and 2) compatible viewer intended to function with Mumax and OOMMF. The viewer provides a fast QT/OpenGL interface that enables users to scrub through loaded files with an animation timeline, eliminating the need for manually generating image sequences and rendering animations using several third party software packages.
- Moved to instanced drawing scheme for drastically increased performance.
- Offload glyph orientation/coloring computation on GLSL shaders for huge performance gains.
- Updated to build with Qt 5.12.3.
- Interactive 3D view of vector and scalar inputs (of arbitrary type)
- Slicing for viewing cross-sections of the geometry
- Easy scrubbing (with automatic caching) through loaded files
- Watch folders such that Muview displays new files when they are created
- Save image sequences directly from the loaded set of files
Files may be loaded from command line using standard globbing
muview SpinTorqueOscillator.out/m*.ovf
muview OOMMF-Data/Oxs*.omf
Otherwise, groups of files or entire directories can be loaded from the GUI.
All builds are available for Linux, macOS, and Window at the releases page.
Linux
An AppImage bundle is now available for Linux, which is recommended for all Linux users given it's portability and distribution agnosticism. This may be executed directly, possibly requiring the execution flag is set withchmod +x Muview2-x86_64.AppImage
. Otherwise a self-contained Muview.tar.gz
bundle is available with all of the necessary Qt libraries included.
Windows
The self-contained Windows distribution Muview.7z
required 7zip for expansion. The required MSVC redistributable is bundled in the same archive as vcredist_x64.exe
.
macOS
Just mount Muview.dmg
image and drag Muview to the applications folder. Qt libraries are embedded in the .app bundle.
