Cinema Examples

There are three main ways of using Cinema that are supported by the Cinema team and our partners. Here are examples of each.


Spreadsheet Examples

Scientists often compile data about experiments in a table that maps parameters to results. These can easily be converted into a Cinema database.

You can view examples online, download/view instructions, or download examples of spreadsheet-based databases from our Cinema examples.


Application Export Examples

Common analysis and visualization applications can output Cinema databases of whatever is being visualized. This results in a Cinema database that is ready to view.

In-situ Export Example

For in-situ analysis workflows, capabilites can be integrated into science codes so that Cinema databases can be directly output from the simulation during execution. One supported way of doing this is through ASCENT. These in-situ workflows can be complex, so we support a repository of reproducible workflows through the Pantheon project.
