GSPHERE-FORTRAN 90 Updated to modern Fortran spec from original code by Karri Muinonen. Teo Korhonen

Generates a Gaussian sphere with randomly distributed surface height. Uses triangle discretization to create a 3D model.

COMPILATION AND EXECUTION:

Requires gfortran. Compile with the command

make

in the program's root folder.

The executable is ./gsphere. Requires an input file argument formatted like the example files in input folder.

OUTPUT AND VISUALIZATION:

Outputs in 3 formats: Matlab X,Y, and Z-coordinates, .idf file, and .vtk file.

Matlab X,Y,Z:

Use any suitable f

float = '%f' xfile = output/mloutx; yfile = output/mlouty; zfile = output/mloutz

x = fscanf(xfile,float); y = fscanf(yfile,float); z = fscanf(zfile,float)

scatter3(x,y,z)

.idf: Use any compatible visualization tool.

.vtk: ParaView, visit or other compatible visualization tools can open it right away.

OTHER:

test.py script requires Valgrind.
