[vtkusers] RE: FEM-VTK?

[James C. Robinson]

Dear Vladan,

I’m afraid I haven’t used vtk in the pre-processing stage so I can’t
comment. If you are talking about visualisation during “solid modelling”
etc, then it might be better to just use OpenGL directly.

Regards,

Jim

Dear Jim,

Thank you very much for your answer.

By your experience, is VTK good tool for pre-processing stage in FEM? Is it
possible to draw input model (mesh generated model) in VTK and after that to
read point ( i.e. nodes) coordinates in processing stage? I am interested in
that because I have developed FEM processing stage (C++ classes for 8 and 20
node element).

Best regards
Vladan

Dear Vladan,

I am trying to use VTK for post processing of 3D FEM for a scalar field
(pressure in a reservoir). Thus far I am doing it by creating a *.vtk file
of the data that I want to visualise and reading it in using a
vtkUnstructuredGridReader. The details of this are given in The VTK User’s
Guide (essential reading) in a TCL example on p.93. I am writing in Visual
C++, but the translation of the TCL script to C++ is straight forward.

I hope that this is of some help.

Regards,

Jim

Dear James

I have read your post to kitware.. (28/3/02) about FEM visualization.

My question  is: What is your field of interest in FEM visualization? I am
also interested in that field but I am an absolutelly beginner in VTK so
your explanation will help me. I have to make pre and post processing in FEM
(3D solid modeling) by means of VTK.
