Hi all,

I am doing CFD simulations of pitching oscillations of a 2D profile.
The mesh should be rigid and move through the space. This way, the
mesh coordinates (as body-fixed coordinates) stay constant over
time, but the position in an intertial space changes. These
geodesic coordinates are written to the result files as point
arrays. To check the movement of the profile, I would like to have
the geodesic coordinates (given as property array) instead of the
mesh coordinates for rendering. How can I replace the geometry
coordinates by a given point array?

Kind regards
Ian

Re: [Paraview] Problem with Custom ParaView Reader

2014-02-12 Thread Andy Bauer
Hi Kalin,

I'm thinking that maybe there is ghost level information that is wrong, or
maybe extent information. I'm assuming that you're running the server in
serial so in that case you shouldn't have any ghost levels. If your grid
has 16 points in each direction than than the extent for that should be [i,
i+15, j, j+15, k, k+15] for a single process (note that extents don't need
to start from 0 but usually do). If your grid is 16 cells in each direction
than the extent would be [i, i+16, j, j+16, k, k+16].

If that isn't the problem, dan you share your code and your vti file from
your test harness?

Regards,
Andy

in the constructor:
this-extent[0] = 0;
this-extent[1] = 16;

this-extent[3] = 16;
this-extent[4] = 0;
this-extent[5] = 16;

Re: [Paraview] Problem with Custom ParaView Reader

2014-02-12 Thread Andy Bauer
Hi Kalin,

I think the issue is that your extents are wrong. The extents should be the
index of the first and last point in each logical direction so it should be
[0, 15, 0, 15, 0, 15] if you have a square grid with 4096 points. Note that
this is the whole extent that the reader could provide even though
subsequent filters may ask for a reduced extent. Also, in RequestData() you
should get the requested extent with something like the following and take
out the SetDimension() call:

  vtkInformation *outInfo = outputVector-GetInformationObject(outputPort);
  int subext[6];
  outInfo-Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT(),subext);
  image-SetExtent(subext);

Then use the subextent to fill in your scalars array since it may be less
than what it could potentially provide (e.g. why read in all data when you
only need a subset of that).

I've filled in the vtkJHTDBReader.cxx code with some comments and changes.
You should go through and review what I did since I can't test your code.

Andy

[Paraview] Outline of multiple transforms

2014-02-12 Thread Mr David Petty
Hi all,


I was curios to know if it is possible to draw an outline around several 
transformed domains.


I have run a simulation of s periodic flow on a truncated domain. Upon 
importing the data, have added a couple of transformations to give the 
impression of a wider domain. However, unlike reflect, which merges copies of 
the original and mirrored domain, the transforms are separate items in the 
pipeline. I'm not sure how to draw a single outline around the original and 
transform domains.


I would appreciate any advice.

I have a dual projector + polarizing lens setup.  I'd like to get paraview

to work in stereo mode with the old fashioned -two screen polarization
format?

 

PS: I know you can do R/B stereo to the monitor and I saw some obscure notes
on this.

[Paraview] VRUI connection ParaView Crash

2014-02-12 Thread Emiliano Pastorelli

Hi,

after some time in which i had to dedicate myself to other software, i 
finally had a chance to come back to paraview to work and develop on it.
I'm trying to re-set it up on my 3-screens VR setup with magnetic 
tracking of the user position and wand and a wiimote to get the buttons. 
I have a VRUI server that joins the tracker and the wiimote, but there 
seems to be no way to get it working in ParaView.


I tried with a VRPN server and it works correctly, tracking and all, but 
unfortunately i need the VRUI one to join buttons. As soon as i 
configure everything in the VRPlugin (i tried both ways, through the GUI 
and through the state file) and I start it, paraview gets stuck, mouse 
pointer hourglass shaped and no sign of life nor error message until i 
have to kill the process.


I tried with the 3.98 and the 4.0, with the 4.1 i seem to have a 
mismatching between the client and server version and therefore the 
handshake seems to fail because of that.


Any idea?

Best,
H
