Hi

I'm writing a python script that uses several paraview filters. I then extract 
data from the final filter for further analysis in python. However, I'm having 
a problem with the speed of the data extraction (can take several minutes). I 
have tried writing to a file (createwriter) and then reading the file. I have 
also tried servermanager.Fetch() and GetPoints… Although I am able to get data 
with both methods, they are both very slow. I was wondering if there was 
anything obvious in my paraview/python script that was slowing the process or 
if anyone has a suggestion at how I may speed things up. 
(I realise this could just be down to the size of my initial input, for small 
data files Mesh - 15MB, solution - 50MB).

The script is below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Christian



        TBR = TAUMeshReader( FileName=Dir+'Mesh' )
        TBR.SurfaceMeshOnly = 0
        TBR.SolutionFileName = Dir+'solution'
        MB = MergeBlocks(Input = TBR)
        T1 = Transform(Input = MB)
        T1.Transform.Rotate = [-float(Rot/2.0), 0.0, Sweep]
        ISO = IsoVolume(Input = T1)     
        ISO.ThresholdRange = [MIN_Tot_Pre, BLE_Tot_Pre]
        ISO.InputScalars = ['POINTS','total_pressure']
        SL = Slice(Input = T1)
        SL.SliceType="Plane"
        SL.SliceOffsetValues = n
        SL.SliceType.Origin = Inboard
        SL.SliceType.Normal = Normal
        Con = Contour(Input = SL)
        Con.PointMergeMethod = "Uniform Binning"
        Con.ContourBy = ['POINTS', 'total_pressure']
        Con.Isosurfaces = [BLE_Tot_Pre]
        Pass = PassArrays(Con)
        Pass.PointDataArrays = ['wall_distance']
        h=CreateWriter(Dir+'Edge.csv',Pass)
        h.FieldAssociation = "Points"
        h.Precision = 15
        h.UpdatePipeline()

        ….read Edge.csv file for further analysis
