Beyond Visualization: Mastering "Top-Down" Analysis in OVITO for Materials Science
refers to the integration and usage of the Topological Defect Analysis tool within the OVITO (Open Visualization Tool) software framework. It provides a robust, mathematical approach to identifying and classifying defects—such as dislocations, grain boundaries, and surfaces—based on the topology of the atomic network rather than simple geometric proximity. ovito top
