Short Description of Functionality

Davit is an interactive tool for visualisation and exploration of results of hydronumerical models. Analysis of grids and results is possible as well. 2D and 3D data can be displayed.

Input-Files

  1. ASCII format for point data (.xyz, .dat)
  2. and more on https://wiki.baw.de/de/index.php/DAVIT#Eingabe-Dateien

Output-Files

  1. ASCII format for point data (.xyz, .dat)
  2. and more on https://wiki.baw.de/de/index.php/DAVIT#Ausgabe-Dateien

Methodology

The functionality is based on a set of Java libraries, which are also used in the grid generator Janet and the digital terrain modeling tool Gismo.
New features in version 2.30:

  • Conversion from orthogonal to total vectors
  • Extended im- and export of ASCII data
  • Link to archived files
  • Improved generation of metadata in screenshot menu
  • Layer commands in python scripts
  • Import of bathymetric data in HDF 5


Program(s) to run before this Program

Program(s) to run after this Program

GRIDCONVERT, ParaView, InGrid

Additional Information

Language

Additional software

Java Runtime Environment

Executables

On Linux-Workstations start DAVIT in the command line window:

  • davit [mmm]; mmm standing for the allocated memory in MegaByte.

On Windows PCs:

  • open the command line window, e.g. via Total Commander -> commands -> command line window
  • include %PROGHOME%\bin\win into your PATH variable
  • davit [mmm] for importing non-BDF files; mmm standing for the allocated memory in MegaByte. Maximum depends on the used hardware.
