    Drawing
In summary, the conversation discusses the use of tmesh card to obtain an mdata file and the need to use a tool for drawing. The speaker mentions using tmesh3 cards for calculating energy deposition but needing a dose profile. They also mention the importance of choosing a tool based on current skills and availability of a support group.

What software are you using?

There are many possible tools to use to plot your results. Which one you use will depend on what you already have and on your skill set. For example, if you have MATLAB and you are already skilled in it, you will likely want to use it. Or, if you have MS Excel, and are already skilled in that, you can do some OK plotting in it.

If you need to choose a new tool, buy it, and get good at it, check with your coworkers, or co-students etc., and see what tools they use. Having a support group to learn a tool is a big consideration. "Why isn't this working the way I want?" is a thing you can get answered by the guy at the next desk a lot easier than online.
 

FAQ: I use tmesh card to get mdata file, what tool should I use to draw?

What is a tmesh card?

A tmesh card is a type of hardware or software tool used to generate mesh data files, often used in computational simulations, finite element analysis, or other scientific and engineering applications.

What format is the mdata file generated by the tmesh card?

The mdata file format varies depending on the specific implementation of the tmesh card, but it typically contains structured data that describes the mesh geometry, such as vertices, edges, faces, and possibly additional attributes like material properties or boundary conditions.

What are some common tools used to visualize mesh data from mdata files?

Common tools for visualizing mesh data include ParaView, MeshLab, Gmsh, and MATLAB. These tools can import various mesh file formats and provide extensive visualization and analysis capabilities.

How do I import an mdata file into a visualization tool?

To import an mdata file, you typically need to use the file import or open function within the visualization tool. For example, in ParaView, you would use the "File" -> "Open" menu option, select your mdata file, and configure any necessary import settings specific to the file format.

Are there any tutorials or documentation available for using these visualization tools with mdata files?

Yes, most visualization tools have extensive documentation and tutorials available on their official websites. For example, ParaView offers a comprehensive user guide and tutorials, MeshLab has a wiki and user manual, and Gmsh provides a user guide and example files. These resources can help you get started with importing and visualizing your mdata files.
