NIMPHS

Numerous Instruments to Manipulate and Post-process Hydraulic Simulations.

Short description

Import OpenFOAM (.foam) and TELEMAC (.slf) files in Blender, and make use of its powerful 3D renderers to generate images and animations!

Documentation

Installation guide and documentation can be found here: NIMPHS documentation

Features overview

OpenFOAM

• Preview the imported file in the viewport
• Create sequences to render animations
  • Mesh sequence (generates a mesh for each time point in the selected time range)
  • Streaming sequence (generates a mesh when the frame changes and only keeps one mesh in memory)
• Import point data as vertex colors (color attributes)
• Clip mesh by a scalar

TELEMAC

• Works with 2D and 3D files
• Preview the imported file in the viewport
• Create sequences to render animations
  • Mesh sequence (generates a mesh for each time point in the selected time range)
  • Streaming sequence (generates a mesh when the frame changes and only keeps one mesh in memory)
• Import point data as vertex colors (color attributes)
• Linearly interpolate mesh and vertex colors (for both type of sequences) to render smoother animations
• Extract point data from one vertex as time series
• Generate volumes from TELEMAC-3D simulations
