It doesn't look like there is support for array selection in that reader. We should add it... Can you make a feature request in the bug tracker?

From: ParaView [mailto:paraview-boun...@paraview.org] On Behalf Of Deij-van Rijswijk, Menno Sent: vrijdag 18 september 2015 16:06 To: paraview@paraview.org Subject: [Paraview] Select which fields to load when loading .vtm multi-block Hi, I noticed that when I load a .vtm file, I cannot select which data fields to load. This requires me to load the entire file into memory, after which the Pass Arrays filter allows me to take the required data field forward in the pipeline. If I load other formats (e.g. CGNS and .vtu) I can choose which field to load. Maybe I’m missing something obvious? Should there be metadata on the fields in the vtm file that is missing?

Hi Jens, I can't think of a way to do this easily in ParaView using existing filters. Your best bet is probably to write the scaled tube geometry to your VTK file directly and visualize that.

Re: [Paraview] About ParaView catalyst
Hi Jun, I'm a bit confused. Do you mean Cetus at Argonne? Also, are you talking about the Intel compilers or the IBM XL compilers? I'm not familiar with any Intel XL compilers. Assuming that you're talking about the IBM XL compilers on a BG/Q, I know that there were some issues with that but they may have been resolved in the ParaView superbuild (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Superbuild), which includes Catalyst. If you try it out and have issues though, please email the mailing list so that we can try and fix them. FYI: ParaView has also been built with the Intel compilers on many platforms but I'm not sure about a BG/Q.

Re: [Paraview] About ParaView catalyst
Back in the day, with bluegene-P I was able to get ParaView compiled with xlc working so it should be possible. (And before that others did it on BGL.) However - I struggled with xl compilers on the mira@anl installs for several days (see the dreaded -mminimal-toc error below). Despite great help from the alcf support guys, and trying many many things, I eventually gave up and went with the gnu compilers. But ... sometime after those few terrible days that I do not care to repeat, Todd Gamblin at llnl contributed a BGQ platform file to CMake. With that and latest cmake, there is some hope that the xlc compile will just work. /bgsys/drivers/ppcfloor/gnu-linux/powerpc64-bgq-linux/bin/ld: /bgsys/drivers/V1R2M0/ppc64/comm/sys/lib/libpami.a(component-pami--CAPI.cnk.o)(.text._ZNSt8_Rb_treeIjSt4pairIKjjESt10_Select1stIS2_ESt4lessIjESaIS2_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS2_E[_ZNSt8_Rb_treeIjSt4pairIKjjESt10_Select1stIS2_ESt4lessIjESaIS2_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS2_E]+0xbc): sibling call optimization to `_ZNSt8_Rb_treeIjSt4pairIKjjESt10_Select1stIS2_ESt4lessIjESaIS2_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS2_E' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc or -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, or make `_ZNSt8_Rb_treeIjSt4pairIKjjESt10_Select1stIS2_ESt4lessIjESaIS2_EE8_M_eraseEPSt13_Rb_tree_nodeIS2_E' extern David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.

Re: [Paraview] About ParaView catalyst
Hi Andy, Thank you so much for the prompt reply and the corrections. Yes, you are totally right, I made some stupid typos and mistakes. Cetus is a BG/Q HPC machine at Argonne National Lab for small test cases (along with Mira for production runs). The XL compiler I mentioned is from IBM, not Intel. I will check the link you sent and see if I can resolve the compatibility issue b/w XL compilers and catalyst. Again, thank you so much.

[Paraview] segmentation fault with netCDF when loading state file
Hello, I am extremely frustrated and stuck on this problem. Any advice would be appreciated. I am working with a dataset of 2400 sequentially numbered netCDF files (generic & CF conventions). In a fresh pipeline, Paraview is able to recognizes these files as a single source and load them correctly. I then create a standard pipeline involving various filters (contour, etc., nothing funny) and save a state file. When I attempt to load the state file, I get the following segmentation fault. Further down you can see a ncdump of the offending file. Would appreciate any advice on how to debug / overcome this issue. Is it a bug? It sure feels like one...

Re: [Paraview] ParaView Environment Variables
Hi Bill, This is a good project. Perhaps we can include a version of your man page in the user's guide when it is finished? I know about some of these environment variables: - PARAVIEW_DATA_ROOT - used to point ParaView to a testing data repository. This is really only used when ParaView's tests are run and likely isn't useful to users. - PV_NO_OFFSCREEN_SCREENSHOTS - just what it sounds like. If set, offscreen rendering will not be used for generating screenshots, even if the ParaView settings say that offscreen rendering should be used for generating screenshots. - VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH - users shouldn't need to set this. From the vtkObjectFactory documentation: "The first time CreateInstance is called, all dll's or shared libraries in the environment variable VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH are loaded into the current process." - VTK_RENDERER - this looks like a historical way to choose which render window to instantiate. It doesn't look like it is used anymore. - PV_DEBUG_LEAKS_VIEW - enables a window that shows the number of instances of all VTK classes. Useful for debugging, not really useful for users. -PV_DEBUG_TEST - I don't see this in the ParaView source anywhere - PV_SETTINGS_DEBUG - turns on debugging message related to loading ParaView's settings files, e.g., where it looked for the settings file. - PV_PLUGIN_DEBUG - print debugging output having to do with where ParaView looks for plugins. - PV_PLUGIN_PATH - adds search path for plugins - VTK_MATPLOTLIB_DEBUG - Enable verbose debugging output during initialization of matplotlib.

[Paraview] About ParaView catalyst
Hello, Here I have some questions about the in-situ library support. Does anyone know if the ParaView catalyst is now supported by Intel XL compilers or not? Based on my recent scaling test on INL Cetus, the XL compilers are almost twice efficient compared to the GNU compilers for the identical source codes, compilation flags (-O2), simulation case set-up (16,385 cores) and input parameters. Therefore, it becomes a tough decision for me to choose either "GNU+in-situ capability" or "XL without in-situ". The perfect situation is that XL compilers can also support insitu visualization (i.e. ParaView catalyst), but I am not sure about that.
