Tutorials

Visualizing motion with marker particles

../_images/shear_marker.gif

This tutorial demonstrates how to highlight a group of atoms using marker colors to track their motion within a crystal during a molecular dynamics simulation. You will learn how to use the Freeze Property modifier in OVITO to preserve the initial selection state of particles.

Turntable animation of a model

Learn how to create an animated movie that rotates a simulation snapshot to showcase the model from all angles. This tutorial covers OVITO’s keyframe-based parameter animation system and techniques for repositioning models in a 3D scene.

Voronoi cell visualization

Learn how to visualize the Voronoi cell of a single particle in a 3D atomic structure. This tutorial covers the Voronoi analysis modifier, selection of individual mesh regions, bonds, and particles using the Expression selection modifier, and how to isolate nearest neighbors using the Expand selection modifier.

Remote rendering tutorial

This tutorial guides you through rendering a simulation video on a high-performance computing cluster using the Render on Remote Computer feature of OVITO Pro.
