[Paraview] Writing csv data in python script

[Casey Goodlett]

I tried this in the binary download of paraview 4.1

>>> s = Sphere()

>>> w = DataSetCSVWriter(s, FileName='/tmp/test.csv',
FieldAssociation='Points')

>>> w.UpdatePipeline()

>>>

and successfully had a file written.

You might try explicitly passing your reader as input to the
DataSetCSVWriter rather than relying on the active source.

I am not familiar with partitioned unstructured grid to know if any
additional steps are needed.

good luck
