[Paraview] NEK5000 with ParaView

[Ravi Tumkur]

Hello Giuseppe,

Thanks a lot for replying to my query.

I understand that you are also facing the same issue of only one
time-step's mesh geometry begin loaded when you try to use Paraview 4.1.0
to visualize your post-processed data.

When you say using Praview 4.1.0 resolved your issue at the beginning of
your email, do you mean you were able to visualize *.fld* data in Paraview?
If so, can you please send an example database set and the metadata file?

I am trying to visualize moving-mesh results for the basic problem of
vortex-shedding past a cylinder moving with prescribed motion. The flow
results are rendered as expected in Paraview for each time step, but the
mesh appears stationary, corresponding to "firsttimestep", as you also
observe too.

I appreciate your help, a set to example database will get me started on
using Paraview for visualizing NEK-5000 data.


Regards
Ravi
