Saving and Loading Data

Loading the Data

To load a dataset, you will select "file" as and then "Import Dataset"

You will want to then navigate to your .vtk file containing the data you wish to view.

Saving the Data

You will start by selecting the 3-D Rendering Controls along the top of the screen.

This will open a window that will look similar to this:

To save the Data, you will then select "Save Dataset"

You will notice that NDSim helps to identify the correct file type you will be saving. In this case, we are saving a .vtk file format.

This section, as well as the file formats below, are closing related with the information provided in the "Batch data" Documentation. 

Formats used

1. 2draster
   
1. Custom format that simply defines the scan grid and then saves waveforms sequentially.  
   
2. VTK (image data)
   
1. For structured grid data, such as beam intensity within a 3D volume (e.g., "blowtorch plots")
   
3. wavedump
   
1. Custom format that saves beam intensity as a function of both position and time.  When loaded into the GUI this allows the user to animate and visualize the propagation of the wave field through a 3D space.
