Overview of visualization utilities.

This page documents the Python script used for generating contour plots of atomistic stress fields from simulation output files with .stress format.

Supported Input Format

Properties=pos:R:3:stress:R:6
x y z σ_xx σ_yy σ_zz σ_xy σ_xz σ_yz
...

Usage

python visualize.py data.stress yy

This will read the stress component σ_yy from data.stress, convert it to GPa, and generate a contour plot in data_yy.pdf. The script assumes the units of stress are eV/Å \(^3\).
