Actually, that must be handled by the Python script without any modification in the source code (C++). As i know, the C++ code is just responsible for data conversion between model code and the ParaView to create VTK data representation of actual data but in some reason, the ParaView does not update (or render) the data between the time steps. There could be a call in ParaView Python API to force ParaView to render data. Following code from SampleScripts/feslicescript.py

  freqs = {'input': [10, 100]}
  coprocessor.SetUpdateFrequencies(freqs)

might be related with it but i am not sure. Any idea?

Hi Ufuk,

Good. You get the same result as me. I think the error messages start after the timestep loop has finished. The good news is that Paraview handles the termination of the client without crashing.

Can you find out how to get Paraview to render each timestep?

I guess to implement this in our simulations we'll have to put a 'system("paraview --script=something") ; in our code just after the FEAdaptor::Initialize() call. The script would connect Catalyst.

Cheers

Hi Peter,

I followed your steps in Paraview 4.2 (compiled under MacOS 10.10.3) and as you mentioned, i could see the pipeline in the pipeline browser. I also decrease to time step (from 100 to 3) to test the code. After finishing the time step loop the ParaView gives following error,

ERROR: In /Users/turuncu/Qsync/progs/paraview-4.2.0/src/VTK/Parallel/Core/vtkSocketCommunicator.cxx, line 735,vtkSocketCommunicator (0x7fd4837cd120): Could not send tag.

In this case, the code is also compiled with ParaView 4.2. So, there is no any version issue.

By the way, it is necessary to add follow code to include section

#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>

to make cout, endl and sleep function available.

Hello,

I've made some progress, but its not the complete answer.

To make the Catalyst examples display in Paraview, you have to go Paraview>Catalyst>Connect AFTER the client has initialized Catalyst.
You also have to turn OFF the file write in the catalyst script.

Try the following changes (I tested CxxFullExample)

1) In FEDriver.cxx, after the call to FEAdaptor::Initialize() , add something like

 std::cout<<"Please connect in Paraview"<<endl;

sleep(20);

I also put a 'sleep(1)' into the timestep loop to give more time to manipulate paraview.

2) In feslicescript.py, you remove the calls to coprocessor.CreateWriter and change EnableLiveVisualization to True).

Now, the test sequence is:

1) start Paraview. DONT connect Catalyst.

2) run the CxxFullExample with (path)feslicecinema.py as argument .( To find out the exact command, go ctest --verbose)

3) When you see "Please connect in Paraview", in the Catalyst menu you go 'Connect' and dismiss the dialogs which follow.

You'll see some changes in the pipeline browser. Paraview can see some data but doesnt render it until after the end of the timestepping. Would you like to look at that?

Cheers

    Thanks for replying.  Take a look at

    Briefly,

    Paraview segfaults with the above error message when I run any
    of the tests in ParaViewCatalystExampleCode-master with
    /coprocessor.EnableLiveVisualization(True). /They all pass when
    this flag is False.  I've tested with V4.3.1 and with

    Are the  tests in ParaViewCatalystExampleCode-master known to

    that not the only change needed to make these clients connect?

    If we are running ParaViewCatalystExampleCode-master correctly
    we'd appreciate your advice on where to start looking for a bug.

    best regards

            Hello

            I just built the current Paraview development version
            and got the same error on running the Catalyst examples.

            Paraview declined the connection gracefully when the
            client was built with a different VTK version, so I
            suspect the issue isnt related to the socket handshake,
            but rather that it only occurs after the socket
            connection is successful.

            P
