Re: [Paraview] How to indicate the pressure data in paraview ( I use LS-DYNA)
Yusuke-san, I am very sorry; I am not a LS-Dyna user and therefore not so familiar with how one directs LS-Dyna to write the stress component array [Sigma_ij] to the d3plot-file. [Sigma_ij] is the 3x3 symmetric array | Sigma_xx Sigma_xy Sigma_xz | | Sigma_xy Sigma_yy Sigma_yz | | Sigma_xz Sigma_yz Sigma_zz | You noted that resultant components were in the d3plot-file. This suggests to me at least two possibilities: Case(1). Your model is using 3D solid finite elements that are internally configured to behave as shell elements (the word resultant is commonly used to describe the stress components in shell formulations), or Case(2). Your model is using 3D solid finite elements that use a multiple-point volume integration rule and, therefore, has multiple stress-strain evaluations within each element. Post-processors like ParaView typically use only a single set of stress components per element and, thus, some form of volume averaging is required to provide a set of 'mean' stress values. Be aware that Resultant can have different definitions in Case(1) and Case(2). Only someone very familiar with LS-Dyna can tell you what is done internally in LS-Dyna to get these values. You may be able to see in ParaView a single interior pressure value by doing the following replacement: Sigma_XX == NormalResultant_X Sigma_YY == NormalResultant_Y Sigma_ZZ == NormalResultant_Z In either Case(1) or Case(2) above, you will be examining an average pressure in each element, however, this pressure will not be at the surface of the finite element. To get surface pressure values, the components listed as BendingResultant_X,Y,Z must be combined with NormalResultant_X,Y,Z values in a very particular way. Please find a colleague that understands shell formulations to explain the process.

Re: [Paraview] My own filter as part of pipeline for coprocessing raises name not defined error
I think that information is out of date. I believe that is done automatically now. Otherwise Andy is right. Putting the filter inside a plugin a good way to go. The plugin infrastructure will make it so that when you provide the XML that describes your vtk class, ParaView's build system will automatically wrap it into a proxy and python class so that ParaView will be able to use it. Also, I recommend trying it on a local static build first. That way the build time will be less and development will be quicker.

Re: [Paraview] My own filter as part of pipeline for coprocessing raises name not defined error
Thanks! I did put my plugin inside ParaView/Plugins in the same way as other Plugins, and enabled it when building ParaView superbuild on Titan. I can see the static lib for the Plugin is built in paraview-build/lib directory. And yes, I did use a plugin and load it via Tools|Manage Plugins when creating python coprocessing script. However, it looks like my plugin is not loaded automatically even though it is built by ParaView superbuild. Perhaps I should still follow the link http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Plugins_in_Static_Applications but I am having some difficulty in following the info in the link to do what is suggested. Specifically, to what file should I insert two macros? It does not sound right to insert them into my custom plugin cxx file. Where should I add two macros to get my custom filter plugin to be loaded and wrapper into python module? I see LoadPlugin function defined in simple.py to call servermanager.LoadPlugin(filename, remote) which I am thinking perhaps should be called to load my plugin before my python coprocessing script is executed, but not sure whether this is the case or not.

[Paraview] xml file parsing
Hi, I'm a hopeless programing novice. I have been provided some numerical data in a .xml file and don't know the correct reader to use. Trial and error has not been successful. The data is in a lattice framework with axis and vectors. Any advice?
