[Paraview] using paraview with large meshes

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Stephen,

Try this:

Load the 2M solution file, bring up the command prompt (Window ->
Command Prompt), in the command prompt type the following:

[[[$Application GetMainWindow] GetCurrentPVSource] GetDataInformation]
GetMemorySize

This should give you the memory usage for the dataset in Kbytes. This
works in parallel also. I am guessing for datasets of that size, the
processing is going be very slow unless you start running on a small
cluster.
