For thin film growth simulations, researchers need to quantify the "topography" of the film. OVITO allows users to project the atomic positions onto a 2D grid to create a height map. This "top view" can be used to calculate the Root Mean Square (RMS) roughness of a surface. By visualizing the color coding of atoms based on their Z-coordinate (height), researchers can instantly spot mounds, valleys, and step edges—features that are critical for understanding epitaxial growth. For thin film growth simulations, researchers need to
