Can anybody answer my question?
When Catalyst receives the next timestep update from some simulation every
few seconds or minutes, it sends its data to the pvserver process. The
pvserver somehow notifies the Paraview client, which will display the new
data.
If Utkarsh's comment is correct that no events can be forwarded from server
to client, then how does Paraview know that it should display the next
timestep?
I need to implement a very similar use case, for which a better
understanding of the communication between the Catalyst session, the
pvserver and the Paraview client is of high importance.
Thanks
Kolja
