Scenaven

Welcome to Scenaven — a browser viewer for simulation data. Open a mesh, color it by a field, step through time, and cut or warp the result while the heavy work stays on the server.

What you can do

You want to… Where to start
Look around a model The 3D view — orbit, pan, and zoom
Color by a result Rendering — scalar field, colormap, opacity
Cut, warp, or pull out a region Filters, or the extract tools along the top
Play through time Time controls, when the dataset has more than one step
Ask about the scene amAIra, after you sign in
Run a short script Python session, on the same simulation

The view is full screen, with floating panels around it. Opening a file and applying a filter happen on the server. Camera moves and color changes happen in the browser.

VTK holds the simulation, OpenUSD is the scene the server writes, and Three.js draws the view. See VTK, OpenUSD & Three.js and Why Three.js? if you want the reasoning behind that split.

The interface at a glance

  • Top center — Align, legend, tools, time controls, and VTK dataset info (ℹ️)
  • Top right — Open, Examples, Help, Infrastructure, Account
  • Left — Scene, Rendering, Filters, and Viewport
  • Right — amAIra and Python session, after you sign in on the home page
  • Bottom — Selection path, field legend, and probe readout

Where Scenaven runs

You stay on one Scenaven URL after sign-in. The viewer is embedded in that page; Infrastructure switches between hosted cloud and on-prem Docker — not a second address in the browser.

Mode Best for
Cloud preview Learn the viewer on curated Examples
On-prem The full tool set on your machine: your files, filters, Python, and amAIra
Hosted cloud, when enabled That same full set, after feedback from on-prem use
