We are pleased to announce the first stable release of IMAS-ParaView (formerly known as GGD-VTK). IMAS-ParaView allows users to visualize different kinds of IMAS data in ParaView. It is publicly available under the LGPL-3.0 license and can be installed from PyPI.

IMAS, or Integrated Modelling & Analysis Suite, is a collection of software used at ITER that aims to provide a standardized way to represent and exchange data between different simulation codes and experimental setups. With the IMAS-ParaView tools we developed, IMAS users can load their data in ParaView, which is an open-source application for visualizing and analyzing large scientific datasets. ParaView provides powerful visualization and analysis capabilities, which can now be utilized by the IMAS community.

The release of the tool was accompanied by a two-day, on-site training at ITER that combined live demonstrations with hands-on practical sessions. We were happy with the attendance and the positive feedback, and hope the training supports participants in integrating IMAS-ParaView into their data visualization workflows.

IMAS-ParaView is open-source and can be downloaded and installed from PyPI. You can read the documentation on ReadTheDocs and view its source code on GitHub. The training material is also made available.
