MOOSEanalyze

MOOSEanalyze is a Python package designed to facilitate advanced analysis and visualization of post-processing of MOOSE simulation's exodus file format. MOOSEanalyze python packageis built on Paraview's PvPython module.

Installation:

To install MOOSEanalyze, run the following command in your terminal:

pip install MOOSEanalyze

Usage:

Here's how to get started with MOOSEanalyze: There are 2 different ways

For windows: Update windows_run.bat file

cd /d \path\to\Paraview\bin
PvPython \path\to\main_wrapper.py

Double click on the windows_run.bat file

For Linux: Running from main_wrapper.py

cd path\to\Paraview\bin    ---> cd D:/Backup_31_July_2022/Research/Research/MOOSE/ParaView-5.11.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64/ParaView-5.11.0-RC1-Windows-Python3.9-msvc2017-AMD64/bin/
Run  in command line -----> ./PvPython path/to/main_wrapper.py
or
Run  in command line -----> ./PvPython path/to/MOOSE_post_processsing_paraview.py (This will run in the Default Data Folder)

For comparing between different folders manually

    # Specify folder names to process only those folders
    folder_names = ['Bare_Zn','MLD_Alucone_eigen_0.5']
    for specific_time in specific_times:
        compare_folders_at_time(base_directory, specific_times, var_names, folder_names)

For comparing between different folders automatically

    # call without specifying folder_names to auto-detect and process all folders
    compare_folders_at_time(base_directory, specific_times, var_names)

For comparing the dendrite lengths:

        calculate_max_x_coordinate(base_directory, folder_names)
        plot_points_vs_time_with_max_w(base_directory, folder_names)

Go to MOOSE_post_processsing_paraview.py and change the following interface/i/aniso, based on interface stress, current density or anisotropy cases, respectively

     # Change the following line to define which part of older name to be appeared in the plot legend 
     aniso_value = folder_name.split('aniso')[-1].strip()  #interface/i/aniso
