= VisIt tutorial for PRACE SoHPC at EPCC = [[PageOutline]] [[Image(ex1.png,right,244)]] This tutorial is a compilation of the tutorial made by Brandt Westing from the Texas Advanced Computing Center, University of Texas at Austin, and modified for newer version of VisIt 2.6.2. Example data [attachment:noise.silo] is part of VisIt data samples. To be able to run VisIt at EPCC prepare the PATH environment by typing: {{{ #!sh export PATH=/opt/visit-2.6.2/bin:${PATH} }}} Images are shown reduced to preserve spacing. If interested klick on them to compare your screen with natural size. == Contours of a scalar variable == 1. Open VisIt and `noise.silo` with a single command or use File -> Open {{{ #!sh visit -o /opt/visit-2.6.2/data/noise.silo }}} 1.
