Mr. Horan has written a java application to visualize the results of your code.
You can download it from the webpage. Note, however, that the application
requires a certain output file
format in order to work correctly. The format is given below as an
example output file. It is important to note that any text in the output
file that is not part of the data must be on a separate line and that
line must start with // in order to signify that it is a "comment" line.
//begin file
//# particles
3
//length of box
1.0
//particle radius
0.002
//time 1
0.00000
//ident Pos Vel
1 0.3 0.02
2 0.4 0.00
3 0.95 -0.34
//time 2
0.15000
//ident Pos Vel
1 0.3 0.02
2 0.4 0.00
3 0.95 -0.34
//end of file
A file can specify the positions and velocities of the particles for any
number of times. The program assumes that the velocities are constant
between time frames and will interpolate the positions between the given
times.
To use the application, you need to enter
java MDWindow < outfile
