Connections#

PyVista is a powerful tool that researchers can harness to create compelling, integrated visualizations of large datasets in an intuitive, Pythonic manner.

PyVista is used across science and engineering disciplines by a diverse community to visualize data/models in 3D, generate publication-quality illustrations, automate analysis workflows, and build custom applications leveraging PyVista’s 3D capabilities.

Here are a few open-source projects that leverage PyVista:

Engineering#

  • pyleecan: Electrical engineering open-source software providing a user-friendly, unified, flexible simulation framework for the multiphysic design and optimization of electrical machines and drives.

  • pymapdl: Pythonic interface to Ansys MAPDL.

  • pyprocar: A Python library for electronic structure pre/post-processing.

  • AeroSandbox: Plug-and-play analysis tools for aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, trajectory design, and much more.

  • Ptera: Software for analyzing flapping-wing flight.

  • PyViewFactor: A tool for the numerical computation of radiation view factors, with applications in building physics, thermal comfort and heat transfer.

  • vision6D: An open-source software for 6D pose estimation (3D rotation and 3D translation in the camera coordinate frame) related projects. Create the ground truth labels of 2D-3D dense correspondence.

Geosciences#
