Codes
We estimate that well over one hundred simulation codes use VisIt for their visualization and analysis needs.
This page contains a partial listing of those codes. Some of the codes that use VisIt or could use VisIt (because VisIt reads their format) are listed on the supported file formats page.

There are three ways to get on this list:
- Direct user feedback
- By placing it in the Wiki personally
- By asking a VisIt developer to place it in for them
- (An initial email went out to visit-users requesting the user community to populate this list)
- A VisIt developer supports a simulation team and knows that they use the tool frequently
- A simulation code's website represents actively using VisIt
- For example, having a webpage describing how to use VisIt to visualize their results
