[Paraview] Cataylst pipeline not updating

[Gallagher, Timothy P]

Back with another question!


I have a pipeline that has 1 input and 4 outputs. The simplest is a IntegrateVariables filter hooked up to the input. Another branch of the pipeline goes through several PythonCalculator filters and a CellDataToPointData filter and then arrives at the three outputs:


1. The CD2PD filter is connected to a Contour filter with a single level, X. This is then connected to an IntegrateVariables filter (used to compute the area of the Contour) and a Writer.

2. The CD2PD filter is also connected to another Contour filter with a single level Y. This is connected to an IntegrateVariables and Writer just as in 1.

3. The CD2PD filter is sliced two times with each slice in a different render view to save images.


I have the coprocessor running every delta_t seconds. The initial IntegrateVariables filter is updated with UpdatePipeline and then the values are saved to disk. This works every step, no issues.


I then call UpdatePipeline on both of the Contour and both of the IntegrateVariables filters in 1 and 2. I check if the 'Area' field in the IntegrateVariables exceeds a threshold, and if it does, I save the Contour's to disk as a VTK file. This is not working correctly.


If I start the simulation from a point where the Contour's exist in the flow already, then everything works great and the Area field changes in time and it saves the Contour's.


However, if the simulation starts without the Contours already in the flow, the Area fields stay zero forever. It's as if the pipeline isn't updating or something. I have attached the DoCoProcessing function used. I don't see anything immediately obvious that would prevent it from updating or getting the correct values for the Area.


Am I missing something about how the pipeline or contour filters update?


Thanks,


Tim
