Single snap shot

Overview

This demo shows how to create a single snap shot using Blender.

What this demo does

This demo uses the visualization tool from FiberPy to get a single snap shot from a FiberSim simulation.

Instructions

Download Blender

First, download Blender at https://www.blender.org/. This demo utilizes Blender 2.92. If your edition is different than this, navigate to <FiberSim_dir>/demo_files/visualization/single_frame and open blender_data.json as a text file. Change the instance of “Blender 2.92” to your current version.

Getting ready

1. Open an Anaconda Prompt
2. Activate the FiberSim Anaconda Environment by executing:

    conda activate fibersim
   

3. Change directory to <FiberSim_dir>/code/FiberPy/FiberPy, where <FiberSim_dir> is the directory where you installed FiberSim.

4. Type python fiberpy.py render_model ../../../demo_files/visualization/single_frame/render_batch.json

5. A Blender window will open during the process, and close when the rendering is over.
