[Paraview] EXTERNAL: Re: Face-centered variables

Tue Aug 9 12:17:33 EDT 2016

Hi Andy, Cory,

Your advice pointed me in the right direction. I originally thought that the variable was face-centered, but it was actually a variable on  a side set (which wasn’t loaded by default). When I finally realised I had to load the set (hidden in the advanced properties), the variable appeared in the “Color By” combo box, as promised :-)

Apologies for the confusion!

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Jim

Hi Jim,
In ParaView there is only field values associated with points and cells. If by face data you mean data associated with 2D cells then Cory's email is the correct one. If by face values you mean field data associated with a face of a 3D cell, ParaView does not currently support that. If it's the latter, maybe if you describe your data layout a bit more in-depth we can find some workaround for you.
Cheers,
Andy

Jim,

By plot, do you mean coloring the faces by the face-centered values mapped through a color map? And by face-centered, do you mean each face has one data value?

If I have your meaning right, that is indeed possible - you should be able to choose your variable in the "Color By" combo box. Here, I have selected a "cell" data variable named "Ids". You should see a cube icon as shown by your face-centered data variable.

Good afternoon ParaView users,

Is there a method for plotting face-centered variables within ParaView?

The variable appears in the Variables list of the Properties panel but I can’t find a way to plot it.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Jim
