[Paraview] Quadrature in Paraview

Andy Bauer,
Thank you for informing me about the nightly builds.  I will keep that in mind from now on.


Burlin Loring,
So I implemented the patch and got everything compiled.  I am now able to use all the quadrature filters and do the examples.  Took me awhile because I was trying to compile for 64 bit when the qt libraries I downloaded were only 32 bit.
One quick question though.  Interpolate to quadrature points and generate quadrature points seems to be used for interpolating the nodal values and coloring the quadrature points appropriately.  Is there anyway to have quadrature point data and then interpolate to the cell and color it appropriately.  For example if I am using a linear element, stress would be constant in the cell, thus VTK would color each cell with constant stress.  If I used quadratic elements, stress would be linear in each cell, thus VTK would color each cell linearly.
Also FYI, Paraview still crashes when making the quadrature dictionary for hexahedral elements.  It's probably not a big deal, I can make my own.  But, Paraview does crash when attempting to do this.
Thank you both so much for helping me, I really appreciate it.

    Hi afad sfgsfdgsfd,

      

      Your example(quadratic tera) actually works with a very slight
      modification: move the cell offset data to the top of the element.
      That's clearly a bug in the reader(when reading inline data, the
      regression tests only check that the appended mode works, so
      that's why this bug slipped through.) . I attached the modified
      file so you see exactly what I meant.

      Hi afad sfgsfdgsfd,

        

        Fixes for bugs introduced by changes in VTK's xml file format
        are in the pipeline, so you'll have to checkout the latest git
        HEAD and build ParaView from source to get the bug fixes. If
        that's something you're willing to do, here are first steps

        

        # get sources

        $ git clone --recursive git://www.paraview.org/ParaView.git

        # apply the patch

        # patch is attached and I just now submitted to PV, will show up
        in PV after the next review.

        $ cd ParaView

        $ git am -3
        0001-QuadraturePoints-any-integer-type-for-offsets.patch

        # build pv

        

        That will get you the bug fixes. Build it, use default build
        opts is fine. 

        

        Then if you like you can get the test data, and open the file
        ParaViewData/Data/blow.vtk, construct the pipeline showed in the
        post (http://markmail.org/message/6qz3ebszvny4vwxp#query:+page:1+mid:6qz3ebszvny4vwxp+state:results).

        That shows how it's supposed to work.

        

        $ git clone www.paraview.org/ParaViewData.git

        

        Now onto your data, the xml you gave is incorrect , it's missing
        the offset array. let me see if I can get your example working,
        I'll post a follow up, hopefully in a few minutes.

         I am trying to understand quadrature in
          paraview.  I am running finite element simulations in which I
          have displacements at the nodes of the element, and
          stress/strain at the quadrature points.  I have linear and
          quadratic hexahedral or tetrahedral elements.  I have been
          spending days trying to figure out how to implement data on
          the quadrature points.  I have downloaded just about every
          document I can find.
          

          
          First:  I downloaded CylinderQuadratic.vtk as shown in
            VTK-Quadrature-Point-Design-Doc.  I was able to generate the
            quadrature scheme dictioanary and generate quadrature
            points.  But, when I tried to use the Interpolate to
            Quadrature Points filter I could not select QuadratureOffset
            in the Select Source Array drop down menu.  I was able to do
            this when using the Generate Quadrature Points filter.  
          

          
          Second:  Considering I couldn't figure out how to
            interpolate quadrature points using CylinderQuadratic.vtk, I
            decided to investigate just using a single element.  I took
            quadraticTetra01.vtu and modified it to only have on
            quadratic tetrahedron.  Then I used paraview to generate the
            quadrature scheme dictionary.  I saved this into a VTU file
            in order to see how to implement the dictionary on my own.
             When I tried to reopen this new VTU file, paraview was
            unable to open the file.  Specifically, it choked on the
            QuadratureOffset data array.
          This is the file that paraview cannot open

          My question is can anyone give me a quick example to
            implement quadrature in paraview.  I am at wits end trying
            to figure this out.
