<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">I have trouble saving data in ensight format using python on windows 7 and Paraview 4.3.1 and 5.0.0 64-bit. This is a simplified version of what I am doing: start a trace in the Paraview GUI, load
ensight file, merge blocks, file > save data as ensight, stop trace. When doing this in the GUI it works as intended, and data is saved in ensight format. However, when I try to use pvpython and the python file from the trace, I get "No BlockId was found"
a couple of thousand times in the output when it is trying to save. The files are created but the file size is zero bytes. My input data is a multi-block dataset on an unstructured grid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">So the strange thing is that everything works when saving through the GUI, but not when using pvpython and the trace from the GUI… Any idea on how to proceed?.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
