[Paraview] Experimental Data Interpolate/Extrapolate to Custom Volume Mesh

[Gallagher, Timothy P]

Mike,


Your state file doesn't work without the data files that go along with it.


That said, here is how you can do it:


1. Load your .dat file and use the TableToPoints filter to create points from the data table -- select your x, y, z appropriately

2. Load your CFD data file

3. Select your CFD data file and then do:

    a. ResampleWithDataset -- select the CFD data as the Input and the TableToPoints as the Source

4. This will give you the data interpolated to the points in the table, if you want a plane from this data, apply the Delaunay2D filter and select Best-Fitting Plane (if the points are not X-Y points only).


That should give you the data from your CFD simulation on the same plane as your PIV data.


I see you are at GT -- let me know if you are still unclear on these steps and would like to talk in person.


Tim

Subject: [Paraview] Experimental Data Interpolate/Extrapolate to Custom Volume Mesh

I have three planes of experimental PIV data with velocity point data in .dat format loaded in Paraview. I am hoping to use these planes to interpolate/extrapolate velocity values onto a custom volumetric mesh (i.e. from a CFD simulation) to compare experimental results with simulation results in hopes of validating the simulation. I have attached my Paraview state file. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
-MT
