[Paraview] Use Stream Tracer to show path of moving object.

2014-08-11 Thread Nabil Miri
Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to use the Stream Tracer filter to show
the path of moving objects in a simulation? The objects were created in
Yade and they simply fall to a surface and exhibit buoyancy.

Thanks,
-Nabil

Re: [Paraview] [ParaView] Unofficial ParaView 4.1.0 SDK for Windows 32 and 64-bit

2014-08-11 Thread Utkarsh Ayachit
 The ParaView dev team switched from Open-MPI 1.6.2 backwards to 1.4.4,
 precisely because the support was dropped.

That is correct. That's  precisely why we've stuck with 1.4.4. I spent
a lot of time trying to packing 1.6.* on Windows to no success and
then decided to just stick with 1.4.4.

 Problem is that the source code for the current MS-MPI builds does not seem
 to be publicly available,

The problem with using MS-MPI is two fold:
1. I can't remember if its support MPIv2 API. I don't think so, but I
may be wrong.
2. The license (at least when I checked) doesn't allow us to packing
the dlls in our binaries. In other words, we would always have to have
the user manually install using the installer distributed by MS.

Re: [Paraview] Plot point variable over time

2014-08-11 Thread Utkarsh Ayachit
Rakesh,

The dataset you included doesn't have any timesteps. Nor I do I see
any variable named displacement. The only variables available are
uvw. To plot over time, you select the cells or point that you want
plot over time and the create the Plot Over Time filter. That would
show you a plot of the attributes for the selected elements over time.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView can't create the reader

2014-08-11 Thread Jérémy Santina
Thank you very much for your answer.

I am sorry for my awful English and I hope you'll understand what I am
writing.

I read the email you sent and I tried to build my reader following the
instructions provided here :
https://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/vtkPOFFReaderBuilds

First of all, I downloaded this archive :
ParaView-4.1.0-win64-complete_dev-r2.exe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluecfd-sc/files/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/ParaView-4.1.0/ParaView-4.1.0-win64-complete_dev-r2.exe/download
Then I installed Qt 4.8.2 from here :
https://code.google.com/p/qt-msvc-installer/. Finally when I am trying to
configure my reader with the CMake GUI, the QT_MAKE_EXECUTABLE can't be
found even if I select qmake.exe directly from the path.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluecfd-sc/files/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/ParaView-4.1.0/ParaView-4.1.0-win64-complete_dev-r2.exe/download
In fact I am a beginner and I don't really know how to use CMake. I
modified the CMakeLists.txt that I found here :
http://sourceforge.net/p/of-interfaces/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/vtkPOFFReader/
but I am not sure about what I wrote. My CMakeLists file is joined with
this message.

Besides, I noticed that when I am executing
*qt-win64-opensource-4.8.2-vs2008.exe,
*a dialog box with the following message is opened :

*A installation of Visual Studio 2008 was not found in the registry ,
guessing path...*

In spite of that, the installation seems to work perfectly fine but : I
have Visual C++ Express 2008 on my computer so is it normal to get this
message ?

To finish, I would like to ask you one last question :
Given I didn't develop any GUI feature for my reader, do I still need QT ?

I thank you again for your help.

Jérémy

  Greetings Jérémy,

 If you had provided the XML file, it would have been a bit easier to
 diagnose this ourselves.
 Nonetheless, it seems to me that the issue is that the class/library
 vtkPTecplotBinaryReader is simply not loadable. A bit of searching online
 and in ParaView's source code leads me to believe that only the class
 vtkTecplotReader is available for loading through an XML only plug-in.

 If the class vtkPTecplotBinaryReader is a custom library you've
 built/created from source code, then have a look at a recent email I sent
 to this very same mailing list:
 http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2014-August/031817.html

 Best regards,
 Bruno

   Hello,

  I have written my own reader for ParaView and I am facing with some
 issues.

 My version of ParaView is 4.1 for Windows-64 bit and I didn't build it
 from sources.

  As the wiki
 http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_a_Reader
 describes, I wrote a Server Manager XML file.
  Then I set the environment flag PV_PLUGIN_DEBUG.

 Everything seems to work fine when I load the reader with Plugin Manager
 as the output messages dialog box indicates :

 ***

 Attempting to load
 C:\Users\Windows\Documents\Travail\ParaviewProject\VTKReaders\Plugin\TecplotBinaryReader.xml

 Loading XML plugin

 Plugin instance located successfully. Now loading components from the
 plugin instance based on the interfaces it implements.

 

 Plugin Information:

 Name : TecplotBinaryReader

 Version : 1.0

 ReqOnServer : 1

 ReqOnClient : 0

 ReqPlugins :

 ServerManager Plugin : Yes

 Python Plugin : No

  But when I try to open a file, ParaView crashes and I get the following
 error message :

 ERROR: In
 C:\DBD\pvs-x64\paraview\src\paraview\ParaViewCore\ServerImplementation\Core\vtkSIProxy.cxx,
 line 307

 vtkSISourceProxy (0B340ED0): Failed to create
 vtkPTecplotBinaryReader. Aborting for debugging purposes.


  What am I doing wrong ?


  Thanks in advance for your help.


  Jérémy

Hi Utkarsh,

I think it does implement MPI2. At least my codes make heavy use of MPI 
2 and it works fine. However, I'll look into it and report back.


Microsoft's documentation says:

   You may also redistribute this MS-MPI installation package with your
   own applications, to facilitate having an application that can run
   on a stand-alone workstation and easily take advantage of an HPC
   Pack 2012 R2-based cluster. Please refer to the license agreement
   for additional details. 



Sounds like if you use an installer it could handle the dependency.

2014-08-11 Thread Utkarsh Ayachit
Additionally, you need to run the installer as admin since it installs
a daemon (I believe). I think it would make sense to put out two
version of Windows binaries (without MPI and with MS MPI) and then
include the MSMPI installer as a part of the installation process,
esp. since no other Windows MPI is officially supported any more.

Something to think about for 4.3, not sure I want to make the plunge
for 4.2 -- but we'll keep the options open :).
