It appears to me you have found a limitation (or bug?) in the Calculator filter. My comments are inserted below.
I just submitted a bug report: http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=13204
files, however, I have never used it. I graduated from VTK XML-structured ASCII-text results files to the EnSight binary-formatted specification in order to get compact, manageable file-sets for my modestly large explicit transient dynamic simulations.
We are happy with HDF5 but this requires a own reader plugin for our format which we wrote some years ago. With HDF5 we have also access via Matlab, with is a plus for us.
If the error message reflects a "limitation" in the Calculator, then the Calculator only processes scalars and vectors (1st-order tensors), and that in itself is no small accomplishment.
My "mechTensor" is just a vector with 6 components, so the limitation is with the size of the vector. This answers two of my questions:
* am I right with the assumption, that the calculator does not like double characters after the underline? * Is this XX, YY, ... coming from Paraview?
Anyone who can help me with the following two?
* How do I access the vector components via python? * Where can I find more information about the python interface?
