[Paraview] How to call a specifc data set from a multi-block ExodusII data set?

[Moreland, Kenneth]

That's not how you use the Python Histogram function. First of all, it doesn't just assume that the first argument is the name of the input array. Second, input arrays are specified with identifiers contained in strings. The Python interpreter thinks q is the Python variable q, not the field name.

Your script should look something like the following.

reader = ExodusIIReader(Filename='out.e')
histogram = Histogram()
histogram.SelectInputArray = 'q'
histogram.BinCount = 30

Try using the stack trace if you are having trouble determining the right Python functions to call.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] How to call a specifc data set from a multi-block ExodusII data set?

I'm currently trying to do something simple. I have a ElementVariable q in my .e file.

I read them into the pipeline with

reader = ExodusIIReader(FileName = 'out.e')

I want to use

histogram = Histogram(q,BinCount=30)

but I recieve the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>NameError: name 'q' is not defined


What is going on here?

Thanks

John
