Visualization

Nyx generates plotfile in the native AMReX format as well as HDF5.

There are several visualization tools that can be used for AMReX plotfiles, specifically VisIt, ParaView, and yt.

See the AMReX documentation for guidance on how to use each of these tools.

The following inputs control when plotfiles are written

	Description	Type	Default
amr.plot_int	Frequency of plotfile output; if -1 then no plotfiles will be written	Int	-1
amr.plotfile_on_restart	Should we write a plotfile when we restart (only used if plot_int>0)	Bool	False
amr.plot_file	Prefix to use for plotfile output	String	plt

and the following control which variables appear in the plotfile

	Description	Type	Default
amr.plot_vars	Name of state variables to be in plotfiles	Strings	All
amr.plot_dervive_plot_vars	Name of derived variables to be in plotfiles	Strings	All
