Hi all,
the data files
https://www.paraview.org/paraview-downloads/download.php?submit=Download&version=v5.4&type=binary&os=Sources&downloadFile=ParaViewData-v5.4.1.tar.gz
e.g. have a confusing file naming :(
What's the intention for this? Thus I could hardly identify the wanted file :[
Many thanks for an explanation
Thomas

Hi Simon,
I'm confused a to where the data is being sent from and to. If it's from
the simulation and to the adaptor then all of that would get done before
Catalyst would ever see it. If it's from the adaptor to Catalyst or to the
PV GUI through the Live connection you'll probably want to look at
coprocessing.py and grep through it for "live". I don't look too often at
the Live sections of the code so it would take a bit of time to go through
all of the details on it properly.
Best,
Andy

Thank you very much for your explanations and suggestions. Responses

Is there a probe setting that will simply grab all the points living in
the original mesh within the radius of the sphere I choose?

I don't seem to be finding any information on what exactly the Gaussian
kernel does with the data, so how close is it to the plain averaging I
would like it to be doing?

As far as I know, there is no way to get the probe filter to get all points
within a radius as you describe. You may instead consider the Point Data to
Cell Data Filter. That will for each cell take the values of all attached
points and average them.
The point volume interpolator filter will create a grid (by default 100^3) and,
in gaussian kernel mode, will ?splat? a gaussian function onto the grid from
every point. Another way to think of it is that a 3D gaussian function is
convolved with a 3D function comprising an impulse function at every point in
the mesh scaled by the field value (and then sampled on the grid).
