ParaView - open source postporcessing software for data analysis

 In many studies, appearance is the factor that attracts attention. During the face to face presentation, 90% of the speaker's perception is assessed by appearance and gestures (according to the latest research).

Why should I try ParaView ???

Each engineer or scientist pays a lot of attention to the quality of the presented results. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the right post-processing program. 
It seems that ParaView, an open source software, may be a very appropriate choice.
The possibilities of this tool are very wide. It is primarily a platform for the analysis of all kinds of data and visualization.
Thanks to the use of multi-threading, the program can analyze really large data sets.
For CFD users, ParaView software can open up new directions when it comes to data analysis and visualization. In addition to working with the GUI interface, it is also possible to programming at the postprocessing stage.
The software also finds applications outside the fields of fluid mechanics and FEA computation. Using CDAT, it is possible to analyze and forecast the weather. Thanks to the multi-vector analysis of satellite data, it is possible to work on a mathematical model of the Earth's climate changes.
The combination of FreeCad, ParaView and OpenFoam creates a powerful multi-physics tool.
ParaView software is constantly updated. There are many tutorials on the web that will help you get started quickly. On the creators page (link below) there is a user manual and examples of using ParaView.

ParaView software appears to be a more universal data analysis tool than its commercial counterparts. First of all, because it is Open Source software, which in no way limits the purpose of this tool for an engineer or scientist.
A very interesting option would be to check (compare) the results analyzed and generated in ParaView and commercial equivalents. I think that when it comes to the possibility of this type of software OPEN SOURCE could pleasantly surprise you. Maybe in some time an attempt of this type of validation will be made.
