[Paraview] (no subject)

[Timothy Cale]

Sebastien:

Good question:

My goal is to have a script which smooths results between simulation steps
(fortran codes).

I use paraview to view results, and the smoothing filter in paraview seems
to do what I want.

I want to start with a Trace-generated python script, and edit it to write
the vertices and element
info to a file (.ply would be nice) that the next code can read.

So, fortunately for me (in some sense), I decided to upgrade my ubuntu OS
to 12.10. This has
paraview 3.14.1-6build1 on its software list (aptitude).

This version corrected a bug (with pvpython) in the version of paraview
3.14 that I was using.
(I also spent a day trying to get/install other versions. That was not very
successful.)

Now if I import the trace generated py file, it pops up (and stays). Not a
very good image, but it is
a start!

Being new to python and paraview, this is quite a step.

Any suggestions as to how to write vertex/node info would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Tim
