1D Profiles Reader

This page explains how to use the 1D Profiles Reader to visualize 1D profile data.

Supported IDSs

Currently, the following IDS and structures are supported in the 1D Profiles Reader:

IDS

Structure

core_profiles

Core plasma radial profiles

core_sources

Source profiles

Using the 1D Profiles Reader

The 1D Profiles Reader functions similarly to the GGD Reader, with the same interface and data loading workflow. This means that the steps for loading an URI, an IDS, and selecting attributes are identical. Refer to the GGD Reader for detailed instructions on:

Mapping 1D profiles to 2D

For information on how to map 1D profiles to a 2D grid, refer to the section 1D Profiles Mapper.

Plotting 1D profiles

The 1D Profiles Reader outputs vtkTable data, this can be plotted in a 1D plot. After loading the attribute arrays using the steps above, apply the Plot Data Paraview filter (For more information on applying filters in Paraview, have a look at the Paraview documentation). Within the Plot Data filter options, disable the Use Index For X Axis option, and in the drop-down menu, select the array to use as X-axis (e.g. rho_tor_norm). The profiles that should be plotted can now be selected.

rho_tor_norm is chosen for the X-axis and the Ion Density is chosen as array to plot
