[Paraview] Reading and Displaying Stress and Strain in PV

[SamuelKey]

Giuseppe,

Everything you want to do (and more) to display
finite element structural analysis results is available
in ParaView.

The trick is to get your finite element method
software to write nodal(point) data and element(cell)
data to a file in a form that ParaView can read.

Try looking at http://www.vtk.org/pdf/file-formats.pdf

I have attached a Fortran-95 subroutine that writes
vtk xml-formatted files that ParaView reads. It might
be a little more complex than what you need since
I use ParaView's parallel read capability to read
individual files for each material in the mesh.

Subject: [Paraview] Stress and strains


Hi everybody:
I have to use paraview to display the output of a finite element programs. I
have to be able to describe deformed solids and to draw on their surfaces
the stress and strain field (different colors for different values of
strenght on the nodes of the mesh) I am reading the paraview guide but still
I haven't found anything similar on it...
Do you know any solutions?
bye and thanks

giuseppe
