Gas Animations: Create Videos from Particles Positions

[shakespeare86]

Hi.
I'm spending little time writing an easy C-code which simulates a gas on a lattice.

I'd like to ask if you know any nice (and easy :) ) program which can take in input some files of positions of particles at different times and make a video of them.

thanks

Hmm, no answer. I'd suggest perhaps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_visualization_software" or some other program for visualizing the output of MD (molecular dynamics) simulations?

Hi there,

It's great to hear that you are working on simulating a gas on a lattice using C-code. As for creating videos from particle positions, there are a few options you could consider.

One option is to use a visualization software such as VMD or OVITO, which can take in particle position data and generate videos or animations. These programs have user-friendly interfaces and offer a variety of features for visualizing and analyzing molecular dynamics simulations.

Another option is to use a programming language like Python, which has libraries such as Matplotlib and Mayavi that can be used to create animations from particle position data. This approach would require some coding experience, but there are many online resources and tutorials available to help you get started.

Ultimately, the best program for creating videos from particle positions will depend on your specific needs and preferences. I recommend exploring different options and finding the one that works best for you. Good luck with your project!
