2.3.3.3.139. NXisocontour¶
Status:
base class, extends NXobject
Description:
Base class for describing isocontouring/phase-fields in Euclidean space. ...
Base class for describing isocontouring/phase-fields in Euclidean space.
Iso-contouring algorithms such as Marching Cubes and others are frequently used to segment d-dimensional regions at crossings of a threshold value, the so-called isovalue.
In Computational Materials Science phase-field methods are frequently used. Phase-field variables are discretized frequently using regular grids.
Isocontour algorithms are often used in such context to pinpoint the locations of microstructural features from this implicit phase-field- variable-value-based description.
One of the key intentions of this base class is to provide a starting point for scientists from the phase-field community (condensed-matter physicists, and materials engineers) to incentivize that also phase-field (and other) simulation data can take advantage of NeXus base class to improve interoperability.
Symbols:
The symbols used in the schema to specify e.g. dimensions of arrays.
d: The dimensionality of the description.
