On behalf of the Pulse Physiology Community, we are pleased to announce that version 4.3 is now available from our repository.  The Pulse Explorer has also been updated and can assist in developing applications built on this version.  We have continued to support commercial, academic, and government institutions in integrating Pulse into their projects and […]

In the context of scientific visualization, simulation outputs may contain various scalar fields. Studying multiple fields simultaneously as well as their correlations may be of interest to analysts. It then becomes a necessary issue for ParaView to offer adequate visualization tools allowing multivariate rendering. In this blog post, we will present several tools recently introduced […]

The collection and preparation of healthcare data is a prerequisite to any development of AI applications. Optimizing annotation pipelines is critical because the evolution of AI model architectures and the imperative to make them generalize well for production involves more and more data being collected. As such, the annotation stage often becomes the bottleneck. For […]

Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM) is now considered an essential part of software security and software supply chain risk management. An SBOM is a nested inventory, a list of ingredients that make up software components. A skateboard BOM would be: Using the BOM and sufficient expertise, one can reconstruct the product. In the software world […]

trame Kitware’s trame [1] platform is designed to spark creativity and empower developers to build compelling interactive visual applications that can be accessed directly through web browsers. trame, a Python package, serves as a conduit for building robust applications without necessitating extensive web development proficiency. Its remarkable versatility allows for the creation of desktop applications, […]

This release contains several new features including LDAP-based project access control, additional GraphQL fields, XML schema specification files, and support for arm64 architectures. This release also contains numerous bug fixes, performance improvements, and internal maintenance changes. For more information on the full contents of this release, see the release notes.

Simulation workflows are essential for engineers tackling complex multi-physics problems, but they can quickly become overwhelming. From managing various command line tools and input files to handling post-processing techniques, the workflow process can be cumbersome and error-prone. Missing documentation or unclear procedures can lead to significant setbacks, including process failures that may even put lives at risk.

Thanks to the new --venv feature of ParaView 5.13, covered in our previous post, we now have a simple path to leverage trame within ParaView. Trame is a set of Python packages that makes it simple to put ParaView visualization on the web. Because trame development is progressing rapidly, ParaView binary installers do not include […]

Simulation is an important element in modern product engineering. In 2023, ENGYS released a survey on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology trends that confirms simulations save money and reduce time to market in the product development lifecycle. 61% of respondents cited lower costs compared to physical testing as a key reason they use simulation, and 60% said they used simulation for faster design cycles.

AFRL’s Air and Space Biosciences Division Product Development Branch En Route Care Section is collaborating with the University of Cincinnati, IngMar Medical, and Kitware to develop a prototype for an all-in-one advanced ventilator simulator (AVS) for training in mechanical ventilation.

Starting in ParaView 5.13.0, there is a new option that lets you use many Python packages installed in virtual environments for a parallel Python installation on your system.

Following the previous blog post on compute shaders in VTK using WebGPU, we now present the introduction of an occlusion culling algorithm, targeted at further improving the rendering performance of scenes containing large numbers of cells or actors.  Why the occlusion culling? The frustum culling algorithm presented in our previous blog post culls props that […]

Understanding the structural differences in neuroimaging datasets is key to discovering insights into brain-related diseases and conditions. Traditional approaches like voxel-based morphometry (VBM) have paved the way for quantitative brain analysis, but new methodologies can uncover even more profound insights. One such method is Unbalanced Optimal-Transport Based Morphometry (OTM), which detects regional and global changes […]

This release contains fixes for issues discovered after the release of CDash v3.5.0-rc3. For more information on the full contents of this release, see the release notes.

Major changes made since ParaView 5.12.1 are listed in this document. The full list of issues addressed by this release is available here. New features GLTF importer You can now import all or a subset of meshes from a GLTF 2.0 file into ParaView as well as the material properties supported in VTK and textures. […]

Ultrasound imaging is a valuable medical tool that helps physicians evaluate, diagnose, and treat various conditions quickly. While ultrasound devices have become more portable, having a physician with the appropriate expertise on-site at difficult and dangerous locations (e.g. battlefields) is not always feasible. Through our work on DARPA’s Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Automated Interpretation (POCUS AI) program, we’ve trained artificial intelligence (AI) to mimic the image...

By packaging workflows nicely and making them accessible on the web, simulation solution providers will provide great cost savings to their customers as time-to-solution is reduced and increase demand for their software as access to it is broadened across the enterprise.

CppCon is the premier annual C++ conference held by and for the C++ development community. It brings together contributors spanning the C++ development spectrum, from game developers to high-frequency traders and particle physicists. CppCon brings the C++ community together to learn, collaborate, and stimulate the use and development of C++ across all applications and fields.

Kitware has developed the trame [1] platform to inspire developers like you to create impactful interactive browser-based visual applications. trame, a Python package, is your gateway to building powerful applications without the need for extensive web development knowledge. Its versatility is truly remarkable – it allows for creating desktop applications, Jupyter tools, HPC applications, or […]

Collaboration and data sharing are crucial for advancing medical research and finding solutions to complex problems. However, it’s difficult to share medical data because it often contains protected health information (PHI), such as a patient’s name, birthday, or other personal identifiers. To protect patient privacy, the data needs to be de-identified before it can be shared.

Following previous blog posts (WebGPU in VTK Desktop & Rendering large numbers of actors) on WebGPU in VTK, VTK now offers access to a new perk of modern rendering, namely the possibility to offload computations from the CPU to the GPU using WebGPU compute shaders. These functionalities will be available in VTK 9.4 or later. […]
