[Paraview] Problem with Calculator filter in servermanager module

[Andreas Maier]

Hi,

it now works fine. The line in my script reads now:

calc_vM=servermanager.filters.Calculator(Input=ptc, AttributeMode=2, 
ResultArrayName='vMises_stress',AddScalarVariable=['eigenval1','eigenval1','0','eigenval2','eigenval2','0','eigenval3','eigenval3','0'] ,Function='0.70711*sqrt((eigenval1-eigenval2)^2+(eigenval2-eigenval3)^2+(eigenval3-eigenval1)^2)')

Thanks a lot for your explanations.

Andi,

You have to specify which scalars you want to use ni the calculator before
updating the pipeline using ScalarVariable or VectorVariable:
 
# Calculate von Mises Caucy stress and save in in celldata 'vMises_stress'
calc_vM = servermanager.filters.Calculator(
		Input=ptc, 
		AttributeMode=2,
		ResultArrayName='vMises',
	
Function='0.70711*sqrt((eigenval1-eigenval2)^2+(eigenval2-eigenval3)^2+(eige
nval3-eigenval1)^2)',
		ScalarVariable =
['eigenval1','eigenval1','0','eigenval2','eigenval2','0','eigenval3','eigenv
al3','0']) #<<===HERE
calc_vM.UpdatePipeline()


For a vector, the syntax would be: VectorVariable =
['Velocity','Velocity','0','1','2']. The first string is the stored varname,
the second string is what you would like to call it in your function, and
the proceeding numbers are there location in the array (scalar's always at
0). Might not be the best explanation, but it works!

Hi,

I have a problem with the Calculator filter using pvpython and the
servermanager module.

My script works fine upto that point:


> from paraview import servermanager
> ...
> ...
># Point to Cell Data
> ptc=servermanager.filters.PointDataToCellData(Input=clip2)
> ptc.UpdatePipeline()
>
># Calculate von Mises Caucy stress and save in in celldata 'vMises_stress'
> calc_vM=servermanager.filters.Calculator(Input=ptc, AttributeMode=2,
ResultArrayName='vMises',
Function='0.70711*sqrt((eigenval1-eigenval2)^2+(eigenval2-eigenval3)^2+(eige
nval3-eigenval1)^2)')
> calc_vM.UpdatePipeline()


and then I get the following error:

>ERROR: 
In /home/berk/Work/ReleaseBuilds/ParaView3/VTK/Common/vtkFunctionParser.cxx,

line 1473
>vtkFunctionParser (0xa105428): Syntax error: expecting a variable name; see

position 0

>ERROR: 
In /home/berk/Work/ReleaseBuilds/ParaView3/VTK/Common/vtkFunctionParser.cxx,

line 1473
>vtkFunctionParser (0xa105428): Syntax error: expecting a variable name; see

position 0

It must be something with the names of my cell 
arrays 'eigenval1',..,'eigenval3' because I do not get that error when using

just scalars in Function (IE: Function='10000').

That same formula works fine when I use it in the paraview Calculator.

I hope that anybody can help me with that problem. Thanks in advance.


Best wishes,

Andi
