Creating high quality movies
The default animation utility in Linux (xanim) is very convenient for viewing animations. In particular, it lets you step forward and backward through the animation, frame-by-frame, which can be very…
Controlling dipleg returns with multiple particle species
In a hypothetical reactor vessel, particles are separated from the gas via cyclones and returned through diplegs. In Barracuda VR, this is typically done through a Pressure BC measuring the…
I can’t view my results in GMV anymore. What can I do?
There are various reasons that GMV output files (named Gmv.#####) may be unreadable by GMV. The three most common reasons are listed below: 1. Filled hard drive. This is more…
