[Paraview] Opening two .vtu files simultaneously

[Andy Bauer]

Hi Boris,

ParaView actually forces the same color scale for all pseudo-colored
objects in the render view, as long as the fields selected have the same
name (and possibly type). So in short answer, yes what you want is possible
and should be done automatically.

In the upper right corner of the view window there are buttons to split the
view either vertically or horizontally (choose Render View in this case in
the list of views in the newly created view window). You can do this and
then view the grid from each file in separate windows to help the
comparison. Also, if you right click on one of these views it will come up
with a "Link Camera..." button that you can click on. After doing this, you
can click on the other view window which will do view point/camera
manipulations like zoom, pan, rotate, etc. in both windows in sync so that
you can look at the two separate input files similarly in the two separate
windows.

Let us know if my answer isn't clear or if you have other questions.

Welcome to ParaView!
Andy
