ANU CTLab

A web-based interface which collects a secure tomography database with real-time GPS-cluster visualisation, a 3D scanning and prototyping service, materials simulation tool box and support for stand-alone visualisation.

Plexus

An extensible repository for data of any dimension and relation to any other data (real, simulated, theoretical). Records the chronological sequence of analysis/simulations and relationships made. An open resource integrates access to data, limited on-line visualisation and simulation tools.

Beta version has been running within ANU, servicing an industry consortium for past 3 years. Needs improved GUI.

Mango & MorphyA software suite for parallel segmentation, network generation, pre- and post-processing, analysis and materials property simulation on large 3D datasets. Allows multiscale, multimodal registration for 2D and 3D datasets.

Mature code base, mature GUI 12 years in development (ANU/UNSW).

Drishti & MahaDrishtiDeveloped keeping in mind the end-use : visualizing 3D X-ray or electron tomographic data, confocal data, etc. by non-technical specialists. Drishti is used it for exploration, measurement and presentation. A standalone code. Open-source. Maha renders arbitrarily large datasets on standard desktop.

Mature world wide user-base (6 years in continuous development)

A cut-down browsed version exists in beta (run from GPU-cluster).

EPINETThe EPINET project explores crystalline frameworks (or networks) in 3D. The aim is to enumerate networks with a broad spectrum of properties that are of possible interest to geometers, structural chemists, and statistical physicists. The extraordinary wealth of hyperbolic tilings allows us to enumerate networks and their spatial realisations with greater breadth than conventional approaches.

8 years in development

Next stagesThe development of a robust GUI for Plexus is required. This should integrate the tools of Mango and Morphy, Epinet and the on-line renderer for rapid exploration of the database. Drishti also requires continued development in response to user requests.

Plexus development : 1 FTE for 18 months

Drishti development: 1 FTE for 2 years

Plexus and Drishti will remain open source.

Margo and Morphy will remain open access.
