What is VIGIE ?

VIGIE (Visualisation Generale Interactive d'Ecoulements) is a software developped at INRIA for comparing the numerical results of simulations in the framework of workshops about hypersonic speed simulation and magnetic filed simulations. The software features powerful tools for the visualisation of numerical results in 1-D, 2-D and 3-D. VIGIE has been developed using X11 and Motif and run under most unices.

Download the software

• HHDB format, the documentation for HHDB is available on the HHSFD server (login as guest, then click on "The HHDB solution output format."). This site also contain some example programs to write HHDB format files.
• HDB format
• private colormap [flag -installcm]

Binaries for the following architectures are available free of charge from our anonymous ftp server. Here are some direct links to install the software in a few steps:

1. Download the executable software for your architecture:
   • Sparc Solaris 2.x or later [executable] [statically linked executable]
   • Ultra Sparc 30 Solaris 2.6 or later [executable] [statically linked executable]
   • SGI IRIX 6.2 or later [executable]
   • DEC Apha OSF1 3.2 or later [executable] [statically linked executable]
   • PC Linux 2.0 or later [executable] [statically linked executable]
   • HP 9000/715 HP-UX 10.20 or later [executable]
     
2. Download the X11 resource file [ASCII file] and place it in your X11 resource directory
3. Download the example data set of the manual [compressed archive]
4. For a tutorial either download and print, or follow the browsable documentation

We also provide two useful programs which can help you to check the format of your data files.

• verify_hdb.c check a file in HDB format (mesh and values on the mesh)
• verify_hhdb.C check a file in HHDB format (mesh and values on the mesh)
• weedb.f a template for writing meshes for the EEDB databse

Documentation

The VIGIE User Guide has been fully rewritten and is available on-line. It provides a full description of the sofware written as a tutorial, as well as the description of the data formats known to vigie. This manual is available in 2 formats:

• Browsable HTML version
• Gzipped Postcript file [850 Ko]

A simplified local version of this documentation is available locally.
