# Pulse Physiology Explorer
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Pulse Physiology Engine is a powerful tool for simulating full body human physiology. However, without a visualization tool the information is difficult to understand. The Pulse Physiology Explorer is built on Qt and ParaView to provide a visualization tool to use and display the data generated by the physiology engine.

In the following sections, we will focus on using the Explorer as a visualization tool to demonstrate the Pulse Physiology Engine.
|
|
|
After starting the Explorer, you will be presented with a set of options that different functional aspects of the Pulse engine for you to explore.

## Start Showcase
|
|
|
|
|
|
A showcase is a controlled scenario, in a specific situation, that automatically loads a patient state and provides a specific tailored set actions for a user to work through.
|
|
|
Generally a showcase tells a story and steps the users through actions and what impact they are having on the engine.
|
|
|
Showcases are good to for teaching a specific topic using Pulse as they can limit and control how Pulse is used.
|
|
|
These are a simple way for beginners to experience what Pulse can do in a more controlled environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start a showcase, select one from the showcase drop down control and click the load button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We provide the following showcases:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [Anaphylaxis](anaphylaxis) - Demonstrates respiratory function and oxygen saturation effects
|
|
|
* [Combat Multi-trauma](combat_multi_trauma) - Demonstrates the effects of the Pulse hemorrhage and pneumothorax models
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Load Scenario
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the Pulse Explorer does not support Loading/Creating/Editing a scenario file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Load Engine State
|
|
|
|
|
|
The explorer can load one of the engine states generated for each of our provided patient files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once a state is selected, the controls area will update to the [dynamic engine controls](dynamic_controls)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once Loaded you can view the patient properties and conditions.
|
|
|
Once the engine is started you can [create actions](create_actions) and [view data](data_requests) from the engine
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Start Patient Editor
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here you can [create a patient state](#create_patient) by editing patient properties and also adding conditions. |
