[Paraview] Import Raw (binary) Files as Cell Data

[Christopher Neal]

Hi Thomas,

If you have the ability to view/edit the source code that is generating the output binary file, then I would suggest that you take a look at the vtk manual that describes the data formats. It discusses how to write the data in the vtk format such that the output is either cell data or point data.  VTK data format guide: http://www.vtk.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/file-formats.pdf

 

If it is a black box, then perhaps you can look into using the filter ‘Cell Data To Point Data”. This may yield something helpful, although it is just an interpolation from the cell centers to the cell vertices(If I understand correctly).

Best regards,

Chris Neal

Subject: [Paraview] Import Raw (binary) Files as Cell Data

 

Dear all,

In a raw (binary) file, I have 4x4x5 values that represent the values on a grid composed by 4x4x5 blocks. When I import it on Paraview, the values are is interpreted as Point Data, giving rise to 3x3x4 blocks (with 4x4x5 points). How can import those 4x4x5 values as Cell Data?

Best regards,

Thomas Oliveira
