[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] PROBLEM IMPORTING ENSIGHT SOS FILE

[Scott, W Alan]

Gaspare,

I tried opening your .case files with ParaView and EnSight, and they seem OK.  I then tried opening the .sos file, and had issues - even after removing the site specific information.  I had issues with ParaView, and it crashed EnSight.   Thus, I believe the issue is with the .sos file.  I am not an expert on .sos files at all - so let me aim you at the online documentation.  By doing a google search, I found the following:  http://www3.ensight.com/EnSight10_Docs/UserManual.pdf.  Look in chapter 9.8, SOS file formats.

That's about all I know...

Alan

Hi Scott,

please find attached a case test that was launched on two cores. In the first folder you can find the *.sos file, manually edited with the correct machine name and the absolute path to the Ensight server (I'm not sure it is the correct file to use); in the folders DOM_0 and
DOM_1 you can find the *.case files (I can load them one by one correctly).

These files are written by AVL Fire. Because Paraview doesn't support the native format of FIRE for 3D Results, I ask to the software to write them also in the Ensight format.

Thanks for your support,

Gaspare
