Hi all,
As I haven't yet received a reaction onto my previously reported problem on
crashing ParaView when reading EnsighGold *.case files (see email below) I
would like to enquire again if no one has a solution to this problem or at
least is aware of this as a known bug?
I would be happy to share my EnsightGold files in order to solve this problem...
Additionally, I have another similar issue where I have again EnsightGold files
which hold 5 time steps of a 3D surface mesh whereas for this mesh only the
node coordinates but not the mesh connectivity do change over time
("change_coords_only" option in .case file). Even though the ens_checker
validates these files successfully, ParaView does not seem to be able to cope
with this scenario.
When loading the .case file the mesh of the first time step is visualized
properly. However, when one changes the time to any of the following time steps
no more mesh is visible and the statistics inspector reports 0 everywhere (No.
of Cells/Points, Memory, etc.).
Any idea on how to tackle these two issues?
(For me the first issue - in the email below - is the more interesting one)
Thanks a lot for your hints in advance!
Best wishes,
Fab

Subject: [Paraview] Read EnsightGold with different timesteps
Dear all,
In order to nicely visualize a dynamic 3D model I want to use ParaView in
combination which EnsightGold (*.case) files. My tetrahedral FE model has a
static geometry and only one variable of the elements (scalar per element) is
changing over time.
To this end I created three files: (1) example.case, (2) example.geo, (3)
example.sigma. The latter is holding all timesteps of the dynamic variable (in
my case the conductivity).
Furthermore, I've verified these files using the ens_checker application which
concludes with a positive "Hooray! Data format verification SUCCESSFUL with No
Warnings".
However, if I load the casefile in ParaView only the first timestep can be
visualized. As soon as I change the time to another timestep ParaView freezes
(no more reaction and consumes 100% of CPU).
Is it possible that what I want to do using the EnsightGold files is not
supported by ParaView?
What else would you suggest me to resolve this problem?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Best wishes,
Fab
PS: I am using ParaView 4.3.1 on a Win 7 64-bit machine
PS2: A hint which might be useful for others looking for the ens_checker
application: I simply downloaded the current trial version of Ensight, opened
the executable of the setup in an archive manager (e.g. 7-zip), located and
extracted the ens_checker.exe.
