Introduction to scivianna

This tutorial introduces the basic concepts of the scivianna library, a Python toolkit for visualizing and interacting with thermal-hydraulic simulation data.

What is scivianna?

scivianna provides:

Panel-based layouts: Organize multiple visualizations in flexible grid or split layouts
2D visualization: Plot 2D geometries, meshes, and field data
1D visualization: Display temporal data from simulation channels
Interactive coupling: Link selections across multiple views
Extension system: Customize behavior with plugin architectures

Installation

pip install scivianna

Quick Start

import scivianna as sciv

# Create a simple 2D panel
panel = sciv.panel.Panel2D()
panel.show()

Key Components

Component	Description
`Panel2D`	2D visualization panel for geometries and fields
`Panel1D`	1D temporal data viewer
`GridStackLayout`	Grid-based layout manager
`SplitLayout`	Split-pane layout manager
`Extension`	Base class for custom extensions
