[Paraview] How to start the Catalyst example: CxxFullExample

[张驭洲]

Hello everyone,

I'm learning the ParaView Catalyst by starting at the CxxFullExample, which is one of the Catalyst examples from https://github.com/Kitware/ParaViewCatalystExampleCode-MOVED-. I have compiled and built it and got the CxxFullExample executable. It is said that it's a full example of a simulation code interfacing with Catalyst, but I don't know how to execute it. I typed "./CxxFullExample" in the command line under the build directory of the example and nothing happened. I read the Chapter 2 of the Catalyst User's Guide and found what's  mainly discussed is about creating ParaView Catalyst scripts in ParaView. It is said that to create ParaView Catalyst scripts in ParaView, I must have a representative dataset, and the Appendix 7.1.2 of the guide has a script that can be used to create the dataset. I managed to get lots of files named "filename_x_x.vtu" and "filename_x.pvtu"(x is a number) by typing "./CxxFullExample ./pvpython python.py"(python.py is the script from the appendix 7.1.2 of the user's guide) in the command line under the bin directory of ParaView 4.4.0. Then I followed the section 2.2 of the user's guide with one of the file I generated above, only to get another script. Actually, what I want is a condition shown at www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/722, but after read the section 2.3 of the user's guide, I'm still unable to implement it. How should I organize the Catalyst enabled simulation and ParaView? Can it work in the client-server mode? Can I get it to work without much knowledge of Python? Maybe I'm on the wrong way of learning Catalyst, if so, you can ignore my questions and just tell me the right way. Thanks a lot!
