[Paraview] File in pipeline browser has changed; best way to reload

[Schlottke, Michael]

Hi Alex,

there is a thread from around 2 years ago that proposed a couple of solutions. Especially if you are using a custom reader plugin this provides for a clean and user-friendly approach:

http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2013-June/028596.html (this is the solution we use)

Regards,

Michael

Hi Alex,

I'm using a little python macro to refresh the fileNames Property of all readers in the Pipeline. It is located here:
https://github.com/richti83/ParaView_Reader_for_LIGGGHTS/blob/master/python_macros/update.py

Feel free to use this as a starting point.

Best,
Christian.

Hi all,

I am doing something that most other modellers do: I am visualizing a file in my pipeline browser, but I ran a new simulation and now the file I am viewing should have changed. What is the best way to reload the file/get the new data from the file? So far my google searches have yielded this<http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-paraview/78129-update-data-paraview.html#post446239> as the best result, but it seems quite clumsy.

I've seen in other places people recommend clicking on "update gui", but I don't see that button available anywhere in my version of paraview.

Refresh times also doesn't seem to work.

As you can tell, I'm a new paraview user!

Thanks,
Alex
