Exodus assumes the node IDs and cell-connectivity are time-constant within a single file. Each timestep the number of nodes and/or cells changes, a new Exodus file should be created.

Be aware that the vtkPExodusIIReader behaves differently on rank 0; during UpdateInformation, I believe it is the only rank to do some tasks in order to avoid slamming parallel filesystems with tons of identical requests. I know one of the tasks it does it discover the list of files to split among the ranks. I'm less sure about transmitting lists of array names to all processes, but it may do that from its own list of arrays, too. There was a problem long ago (that got fixed) where element blocks with no cells were missing arrays -- I don't think we've ever had processes with no points/nodes, though.

Yes, that is a basic assumption of the Exodus file format: each rank is assigned a subset of the cells and nodes in the simulation domain, since otherwise there is no state to store. If rank 0 of a simulation has no nodes (and thus cannot have cells either), then it should probably not participate in writing the Exodus dataset. You could create an MPI subcontroller without the rank 0 process and have the writer use that. > At this point I'm thinking it's better to modify the reader than the writer...

Re: [Paraview] ParaView 5.2 Release Candidate 2 available for download
Hi Fabian, Your attempt to set CMAKE_OSX_SDK=10.12 was probably on the superbuild project, and it is not passed to the Qt subproject as QT_MAC_SDK. Try passing the proper value to CMAKE_OSX_SDK (i.e., the full path which is usually /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk) and see if the superbuild properly determines the value of QMAKE_MAC_SDK from that.

Re: [Paraview] wall shear stress
Hi Fande, You should be able to use the gradient filter to compute the velocity gradient and examine the component of the gradient normal to the wall. That will be proportional to the shear stress at the wall. Is the wall aligned with a coordinate axis? If not, you will need to extract the wall surface and generate normal vectors, then dot the gradient with the normal vectors.

Re: [Paraview] [EXTERNAL] python calculator confusion

Now, when > I debugged into it, I see that is doesn;t support voxel cell types -- > the cells produced by vtkImageData. Yes, that is an artifact of using the verdict library to compute volume. The cell quality filter is being used to compute a "quality" metric that is rarely used as a primary indicator of mesh quality, so this is not really the intended use of the filter. The cell quality of axis aligned boxes is not usually of interest to anyone, so when writing the quality filter I did not consider that cell type... only those types directly supported by verdict. While volume can be obtained for other types by tetrahedralizing and summing, that does not work for other metrics like Frobenius norm. Many element shapes do not have well-characterized quality metrics.

Re: [Paraview] Using Paraview for modeling orbital motion of many objects/database connectivity?
Hi Cynthia, It's not something ParaView supports without any modifications, but it is not impossible. VTK, the toolkit ParaView is built upon, provides ways to populate tables from SQL database queries and also ways to turn those tables into polygonal datasets that can be rendered. It would take a small amount of programming to connect those two together into a ParaView pipeline object. Depending on what's in the database, it would probably also require some filters to turn the satellite ephemera into a time-series of point coordinates for animations. I'm less certain about how much work that would be; I'm not familiar enough with orbital mechanics to know how much work that is.

[Paraview] 3D widget in branded app panel?
Hi all,
I need to add some 3D widgets to a custom ParaView application. I've succeeded
in creating a pqImplicitPlaneWidget and pqSphereWidget and adding their Qt
widgets to the UI. However, the 3D widget never appears in the render view; the
plane/sphere show up, but not the widgets. It's unclear from the
documentation/code what proxy I should pass to the widget constructors for the
"controlled" proxy. This is what I'm currently doing:
pqServer* server = paraViewApp->getActiveServer();
pqObjectBuilder* builder = paraViewApp->getObjectBuilder();
QPointer source =
builder->createSource("sources", "PlaneSource", server);
vtkSMProxy* ctrlProxy = source->getProxy();
vtkSMProxy* refProxy = ...; // proxy of the pqPipelineSource whose bounds
should be used by the widget
pq3DWidget* pvwidget = new pqImplicitPlaneWidget(refProxy, ctrlProxy);
pqActiveObjects& actives(pqActiveObjects::instance());
pvwidget->setView(actives.activeView());
pqDataRepresentation* rep =
builder->createDataRepresentation(
source->getOutputPort(0), actives.activeView())
panelLayout->addWidget(pvwidget);
pvwidget->showWidget();
I've even tried
double bds[6] = { -85, 85, -202, -34, -216, -47 };
pvwidget->resetBounds(bds);
to fix the bounds to something meaningful, but this has no effect.
Any hints would be useful.
Thanks,
David

Re: [Paraview] [EXT] Trusses to Tubes
Hi Dennis, > ... running extract surface and then tube is working very well for me. I > guess I never thought about a "line" element having a surface but apparently > that's a line! Yes, the "Extract Surface" filter's name is a little misleading. What it really does is convert a dataset from an unstructured grid (which may contain volumetric elements) to a polydata (which may only contain 0-, 1-, or 2-d primitives). In the process, any volume elements are represented by the portions of their bounding surface not shared with other volume elements. The Tube filter only runs on polydata. So it is not exactly extracting the surface of a line so much as converting representations.

Re: [Paraview] Trusses to Tubes
Hi Dennis, > I have a Exodus multi-block dataset with some blocks that are truss elements > (unstructured grid).Each truss represents a cord and I would like to run > the Tube filter on them to display their actual diameter so that I can check > how close they come to touching each other. Of course, the Tube only runs on > lines, not trusses. ... I can imagine 2 issues at play: 1. One issue may be that the Tube filter expects polydata, not unstructured grids (which is what the Exodus reader generates by default). Running "Extract Surface" on the reader output should let you run the Tube filter on the result. 2. Another issue is that the Exodus reader does not currently read element block attributes, which is normally where truss cross-sectional area is stored. Thus you would have to know the proper radius to pass to the Tube filter. It would not be a huge amount of work to add Exodus attributes as field data nor to have the reader run a tube filter on truss blocks, but it is more than I have time to do right now. If you want to write a patch, I can point you to where changes would need to be made.

Re: [Paraview] [EXT] Re: Exodus Block Names
Hi all, The Exodus reader creates 8 top-level blocks to identify different types of data present in each file (corresponding to the names you see for 0-7). Each of these blocks contains child blocks for the actual data loaded from the file (which may be a subset of the data present in the file). It is these sub-blocks whose metadata will hold the names from the Exodus file.

It would be easy to create new arrays that present just one component of explicit coordinates or to present implicit coordinates without allocating memory.

Re: [Paraview] how not to scale the thickness of the Arrow Glyph?
Hi Kazuyoshi, I do not think the glyph filter will do what you want it to. You might use a Python programmable filter[1] to turn each point into a line segment (i.e., a line from (x,y,z) to (x+dx, y+dy, z+dz)). Then run "Cell Centers" on the resulting line segment data and add oriented, unscaled cone glyphs at each cell center to indicate the direction along the line segments. That would draw lines along the path plus cones pointing along the direction of the path.

Does Paraview assign an integer if value to the side set > and if so, > how does it assign the id and is there a way to extract that from paraview? > Thanks! The Exodus reader generates a multiblock dataset with one toplevel block containing all the side sets. The index of a side set inside that toplevel block is an integer and can be obtained in a Python programmable filter. The advantage of this is that it's cheap, storage-wise. The disadvantage is that the index will vary depending on what side sets you choose to load. The Exodus reader can also provide a cell array identifying the side set ID (an integer stored in the Exodus file). See http://vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=IO/Exodus/vtkExodusIIReader.h;h=10de0366f262732d333ba45187917228d428c21e;hb=HEAD#l112 for more information. I believe this is exposed in ParaView, but forget what the button is called... it used to be "Generate ObjectIds" but someone decided that was unclear and was going to change it to something that *I* think is unclear. :-) The advantage of the generated IDs is that they do not vary depending on what you choose to load. The disadvantage is that it is not stored on the block, but on each cell in the block, so it takes up a lot of memory.

Re: [Paraview] FW: (ParaView) Lofting Shells (INC000000978412)

One issue is that different FEM codes parameterize shell elements differently: + Some assume that the surface is a true mid-surface. Others allow different "top" and "bottom" heights. Others "loft" only in one direction. + Some treat neighboring shells as constraining the offset nodes for problems where contact may be an issue. Others do not do contact. The latter in particular can lead to tricky problems when angles between neighboring shell elements are acute. Doing something akin to the "tube" filter, but for quads+tris would be easy as a Python programmable filter. Doing something where neighboring elements were taken into account would be significantly more work.

Re: [Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Rotational velocities
> I've never done this, and maybe there is an existing established way to do > it, but a simple Google search did not reveal it. The proper Google search phrase to find mechanical engineering sites is "instant center of rotation". Most of them deal with 2-D though, as that's what's covered in undergraduate mechanics. If you find an advanced mechanics book (or an aerospace mechanics book), you should find the 3-D case. > ...

I think it's more likely for someone to be interested in the rotation about the instant center than the center of mass, but the angular velocity about the center of mass is also a useful thing to know. (It is also nice to know the moment of inertia about whatever axis you are dealing with because then you can estimate rotational kinetic energy as I\omega^2 and the linear kinetic energy as m*v^2 and compare the two.) > An average of all the point coordinates might be a close enough approximation > to the center of mass. I would be nervous about using that approximation in a general-purpose tool because the angular velocities that result can vary significantly for small changes in the position of the center of mass when velocity is large. You could use the mesh quality filter and cell-center filters to avoid bias from the mesh. Or do a least squares fit to the instant center of rotation and the angular velocity all at once. > Next, find the translation of the rigid body by looking at the displacement > at the center of mass. That displacement is the translation. Now subtract > that translation vector from all the displacements to get what I will call > the rotation displacement (a term I just made up). If the body is deforming (or the element block contains independently-moving disjoint bodies), both the estimated displacement and your "rotation displacement" include variations due to non-rigid deflections. > Now you can use any of these rotation displacements to find the rotation. > Technically any one displacement will give you the rotation (because it is a > rigid body), but you should pick one far away from the axis of rotation. The problem I have with this is that -- assuming non-rigid deflections are significant -- the ones far from the axis of rotation are likely the ones most affected by non-rigid-body deflections.

How do I >> do that? > It would be good to have some more clear mathematical definition of (2). I am > assuming it involves some sort of integration but it is not clear. Assuming that the elements are (mostly) undergoing rigid-body motion, you could estimate the instant center of rotation and decompose the velocity into rotational and linear components. It should only take 3 points and their velocities (in 3-D, or 2 pts in 2-D) to estimate the instant center. For the 2-D case, see http://emweb.unl.edu/NEGAHBAN/EM373/note16/note.htm In 3-D, you get an axis, not a point. Having more than 3 (or 2 in 2-D) points generates a distribution of instant centers. For a deformable body, the distribution might not be anything like a point/line in space. You can imagine a pancake being flipped and see that the instantaneous angular velocity at the edges (far from the "axis of flip") would oscillate above and below that of the portion nearest the "axis of flip" -- because pancakes can curl (taco?) a good deal while flipping. How should ParaView report that? As a single angular velocity for the pancake, averaged over the entire cake? What if there are multiple pancakes? One average for each connected component? One for the full stack? :-) For each set of nodes N_i you want to use in an estimate, you could deflect nodal coordinates by their velocity N_i' = N_i + delta_t * V_i and then compute the optimal rotation matrix using the Kabsch algorithm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabsch_algorithm >From the optimal rotation matrix, you can choose the eigenvector with the >largest eigenvalue and use it as an estimate of the instant center of >rotation.

In other words, the minimum would be set to > 1*10^-4 of what the maximum is. Avoiding a "window" around 0 in the initial view sounds good to me. However, I can imagine some cases where the data spans more than 4 orders of magnitude. One thing I've seen (debatably bad, but something ParaView must deal with) are simulations/datasets that use large numbers (i.e., 1e+38) to mark invalid values. (The LDAV climate data does this.) Showing a plot with the initial view set to [1e34,1e38] would not be useful, since it would only show invalid values. Another is chemical reaction simulations where concentrations span much more than 4 orders of magnitude (I've seen some span 11 or 12 orders of magnitude, but 5 or 6 can be common). What choosing q to ensure that a significant fraction (say 90%?) of the data is actually on-screen? It not terribly hard (even in parallel) to extract a fixed-size sample that approximates a histogram to within a few percent. We could use that to determine where the bulk of the data resided and ensure that the q-value does not leave more than 10% offscreen. > If all of the user’s data is negative, ParaView grumbles, and then seg faults > using a current master git pull – not optimal behavior.

I'm not sure I understand this, especially your use of "dense". It sounds like you have a particular dataset in mind where the probability density is low near zero. Are you saying you want the color scale to be different in the case of data that is all negative numbers? Or that log plots in general should have colors reversed? > The problem arises with data that spans positive and negative numbers.

I like the idea of having a custom color for the range [-10^q,10^q] and I think I understand and agree with the simplified bounds/ticks for the case where the data crosses zero -- at least when it firmly crosses the origin. However, whose chemistry simulations I mentioned above would occasionally have very slightly negative concentrations. Physically they can never be negative but floating-point precision meant that some were. In this case, we might have a distribution of concentrations that went from -1e-16 to 1 with the bulk in the range [1e-10,1]. Using the algorithm above for the axes would assign half of the color palette to the range [-1,-1e-4], half to [1e-4,1] and draw a significant fraction of the data as "black". If instead the histogram was used to choose q, then we might be able to decide that all of the "naughty" data were outliers and select a log color-scale of [1e-10,1].

Re: [Paraview] d3plot transform to vtk file
Hi Yusuke, I'm not sure what you mean by "central axis". Do you mean the central axis of the simulation or the middle layer of a thick shell element? If the latter, note that the LS-DYNA file format only stores fluid pressure information at nodes or on SPH particles. If the shell elements do not have nodes on their middle layer, then no pressure information is available there and you will have to interpolate it. Also, are you sure the pressure variable is being saved in the d3plot file? LS-DYNA may be configured to save pressure or not. Finally, there are other files (the time history database: d3thdt; the interface force database: intfor) that VTK's LS-DYNA does not support but that LS-PrePost is able to read. If the pressure information you want is stored in these files, VTK will not be able to read it.

Here is a small patch that will get the VTK reader loading data. A vtkpython
script is also attached that demonstrates it on the exEdgeFaceElem.exii test
file in vtkData.
However, I leave it as an exercise to the reader to expose things in
ParaView... it was hard coming up with all the little icons for different types
of data arrays and now you need 3 more (edge, face, and element block
attributes)! Plus you may need to add some convenience methods to the
vtkExodusIIReader class to expose the different types of attributes in a way
that lets ParaView map them to properties.

Yes, you are correct.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not actually representing the data." It *does*
represent the data, segregated into a series of blocks (which is how it is
stored on disk). The blocks are arranged into a 2-level hierarchy. The first
level determines what the blocks represent (elements, faces, edges, or subsets
thereof). The second level contains the actual data.

I've put a script below that colors the first element block in the can.ex2
dataset (available from the ParaViewData git repo:
http://www.paraview.org/gitweb?p=ParaViewData.git;a=blob;f=Data/can.ex2;hb=HEAD
). It shows how you can add a color array to one block (in the example below,
ids.GetBlock(0).GetBlock(0) is the first "leaf" node of the tree containing the
Exodus data). In reality, you probably want to loop over all leaf nodes in the
dataset. You can use GetNumberOfBlocks() to set up a loop that calls GetBlock
with each valid index.
David
ids = self.GetInput()
ods = self.GetOutput()

Re: [Paraview] How to Rename Blocks in Exodus File
Hi Dennis, > I would like to rename the Exodus blocks to useful names, in a macro script, > reading the names from a file. ... Before doing this in ParaView, does it make sense to change the Exodus file instead? That way the names would stay changed across ParaView sessions and any other applications that use the file will have access to them. You should be able to use netcdf4-python ( http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/ ) to get/set the element block names (since Exodus files are just netCDF files that follow a particular naming convention). If the "eb_names" variable exists in the netCDF file, you can alter it. Otherwise, you can add it and save the file. See the VTKData repository ( http://vtk.org/VTKData.git ) for an example file (edgeFaceElem.exii) that has names in it. The ncdump and ncgen programs that come with NetCDF are also useful for editing small files; I would advise using them to examine and modify edgeFaceElem.exii before writing a Python script to change things. > so using src=ExodusIIReader I can use SetData on src.ElementBlocks and change > that - which accomplishes nothing except de-activating all my blocks I'm not sure how "src=ExodusIIReader; src.ElementBlocks" works at all. Are you using Tools->Python Shell to run Python commands? Or a Programmable Filter? > However, I need to change src.ElementBlocks.Available and I can't figure out > how to do that as there is no SetData and nothing else I tried works Given my confusion above, I cannot be sure, but it looks like you are trying to modify the reader and not the data that it loads. But the reader in ParaView is part of a pipeline that creates the dataset and modifies it as the user requests changes (e.g., load variable "A", turn off block "B", and so on), so even if you were to modify the reader's output data, it would not stay changed. If you want the names to be different in filters that connect to the reader, you'll have to create an intermediate Programmable Filter that runs a Python script to change block names. See http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_Programmable_Filter for more information, but be aware that you'll need some knowledge of how VTK multiblock datasets are named to make this work.

You could run the histogram filter on the dataset but that won't leave you with complete control over the bin cutoffs for quality values. It's probably what you want, though. You can also create a Threshold filter for each quality (0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2) of interest and look at the information tabs for a report of the number of cells. That is awkward but you get to pick exactly the quality values of interest, even if they are non-uniform.

You can set the number of colors in the lookup table by + clicking on the color scale editor button in the toolbar, + ensuring that the "Use Discrete Colors" checkbox is ON, and + changing the "Resolution" slider to 2. As long as the field values are uniformly spaced, you can handle more than 2 colors by changing the resolution appropriately (but note that you may wish to use the "Rescale Range" button to keep color band edges from falling on special values).

Re: [Paraview] Can you use bands in colour maps?
Hi Joe, > By default, all the colour maps in ParaView are continuous between points. > I'd like to have only one colour in between points I set in the XML map, is > this possible? In the current release of ParaView, you can click on the "Edit color map" button in the toolbar and turn on "Use Discrete Colors" in the color editor. By changing the number of colors with the neighboring slider, uniform ranges of scalar values will be assigned a single color. In an upcoming release, discrete color maps will be available. Discrete colormaps do not interpolate colors; instead they are looked up in a table, so a single large difference in values will not force any small variations to be lumped into a single color band. However, this requires your scalar field to take on a small number of distinct values (32 or fewer); colors are assigned to a single value, not a range. To map non-uniform ranges of values to a single color each, you really should create a derived, integer-valued variable and use it for coloring -- regardless of whether you use continuous colormaps in the current release or plan to use categorical color maps later. The calculator filter's floor, ceil, and round functions might be worth a try in creating the derived field; if there's not a simple expression to convert each range of interest to an integer, the Python calculator will let you apply a tabular function. Finally, it *may* also be possible to achieve what you desire with a custom XML color map by placing control points with different colors very close to each other to create a discontinuous color map. This would be difficult to adjust in the color editor should the control points need to be repositioned, but might be the easiest thing to do if the bands are fixed values or fixed fractions of the total range.

Re: [Paraview] Numpy masking (via programm filter) not quite working in parallel
Hi Sohail, This is likely caused by points shared on several processes. While ParaView splits the cells of a mesh across processes, cells on the boundary between processes share vertices. Thus if a vertex bounds cells split across 3 processes, that vertex will appear in 3 different lists of local vertices and thus be counted 3 times instead of once. There is nothing in ParaView for determining which vertices are shared (and by how many processes). This also affects the statistics filters when run in parallel on point-centered data. For most large data, the number of vertices on inter-process boundaries is small compared to the total so we documented the behavior for the statistics filters but did not implement a solution (because the expected skew is small).

Re: [Paraview] Concept: A world without the Apply button
Utkarsh, I agree that composite readers (and probably other composite filters) can provide the dataset structure in the RequestDataObject pass, but I don't know that many currently do. Certainly the ExodusIIReader doesn't. It would be easy enough to provide an empty hierarchy of *all the available* blocks the file(s) contain, but doing that with all of the block/set selections plus populating empty arrays on each leaf (which I think would be useful) would be a lot of work.

Re: [Paraview] Unstructured Grid Descriptive Statistics
Hi Kristjan, You are correct that the statistics filters do not weight values by cell area. It's torturous, but it might be possible to use the "Mesh Quality" filter to compute the cell areas/volumes, a calculator filter to compute the product of the area and a cell variable, and then run descriptive statistics on the resulting field. But being able to perform area/volume-weighted statistics (at least for cell data) sounds like a good use case to support. Would you be willing to file a feature request at http://paraview.org/Bug/ and attach your example to it?

Re: [Paraview] Descriptive statistics filter
My second question concerns the keyword 'Cardinality' in descriptive statistics When I make a slice of my mesh and apply the statistics to it, for example, the cardinality values are far bigger than the number of nodes of the sliced plane or curve. Is cardinality always the total number of nodes of the grid? The reason that you see a large number of points for the cardinality of a slice is that slicing creates a new mesh whose nodes are not always nodes of the original mesh... they are intersections of mesh edges with the slice plane. Slicing MAY also convert hexahedral cells into triangles before intersecting edges with the slice plane (I just don't recall for sure).

Re: [Paraview] Descriptive statistics filter
Hi Martin, I have an ouput file that comes from a cfd simulation. After I load the data in paraview and apply the descriptive statistics filter, I see a table presenting mean value, min., max. ... of my quantities. I'd like to ask if it's possible to export this table as a text file so that I can plot the values of certain columns with gnuplot, for example. Yes, clicking on the table so it becomes the active view and then choosing the File->Save Data menu will let you export it as a CSV file. My second question concerns the keyword 'Cardinality' in descriptive statistics. I'd expect this to relate somehow to the number of degrees of freedom of my mesh, but the numbers in 'Cardinality' column do not always correspond. When I make a slice of my mesh and apply the statistics to it, for example, the cardinality values are far bigger than the number of nodes of the sliced plane or curve. Is cardinality always the total number of nodes of the grid? Cardinality is the number of observations encountered. For point data, it will be the number of nodes in the mesh (PLUS an extra entry for each time a node is shared on more than one process if you have ParaView running in parallel). For cell data, it will be the number of cells in mesh. The reason that you see a large number of points for the cardinality of a slice is that slicing creates a new mesh whose nodes are not always nodes of the original mesh... they are intersections of mesh edges with the slice plane. If you really want properties of a subset of mesh nodes, you can use the Elevation filter plus a Threshold to select a subset of cells or points and pass that to Descriptive Statistics. You might also be able to use the selection mechanism to select nodes of the original mesh with your view's camera set to parallel projection (instead of perspective projection). Once you have the nodes selected, use the Extract Selection filter to create a new dataset from the selected nodes.

Hi Michael, The threshold filter copies cells, not points, from the input dataset to the output dataset. So, since you have point data it must use a rule to decide whether or not a given input cell should be included in the output based on the points that make up the cells. When you click on "All scalars," it uses the rule that *all* the points of a given input cell must be inside the threshold range (i.e., between -0.2 and 0.2) in order for the cell to be copied. It sounds like none of your cells have all 0 values at their points, so the output is empty. When "All scalars" is unchecked, the rule is that *any* point of a given input cell matching the threshold criterion will result in the input cell being copied to the output. In this case, cells with *any single* point value between -0.2 and 0.2 will cause the cell (and *all* of its points, even those which don't meet the threshold) being copied to the output. So, what is it that you really want to do?

Well, then we'll have to come up with some subtle psychological twist to let people know. Perhaps the overlay could be of a prone person who, after 2 seconds, stands up and performs calisthenics until the still render is complete. ;-) Or more seriously, the overlay could be present during all interactive rendering and just start "counting down" (I still prefer a clock-like wedge to a countdown, especially given that it's a short 2-second interval) when the mouse is released. That way the overlay's presence indicates interactive rendering, a modified form would indicate the still rendering is being performed, and its absence indicates that the image is a completed still rendering.

this is absolutely essential. But how ? :). What could serve as a good

1. Different colors on the border surrounding the pane (but this
competes with the red/blue indicating which pane is "Active")
2. An LED-like glyph in the pane's title bar?
3. A small overlay in one corner of the pane? (Ken's favorite: a pie

Take a look at VTK/Utilities/kwsys/SystemTools.hxx.in and
RegularExpression.hxx. SystemTools::LowerCase is a routine to downcase
strings and RegularExpression lets you define searches. To use them, you
need to
#include
#include
Note that the includes use vtksys, not kwsys.

Re: [Paraview] Serial remote views of distributed data

Hi all,
I'm looking to convert a (currently serial) VTK application into a
ParaView-style client (one that talks to a distributed set of pvserver

1. large-distributed datasets as sources
2. pipelines which extract very small subsets of the data from #1
3. several vtkView subclasses which do 3-d rendering/interaction of
the subsets from #2 in a non-parallel way, and
4. clients which will be run on machines without decent 3-D rendering
hardware.
I would like to create new pqView classes that collect data from the
distributed pvservers to the rank 0 process, do the rendering on the
rank 0 pvserver process (using the serial vtkViews), and use
ParaView's remote image delivery mechanism to present the images to
the client.
Are there existing views that do this? Is the view the place where all
of this should be performed or are there other places where the data
aggregation should take place? I see that some of the OverView plugins
are client-side views but really what I'm looking for is rendering on
the rank 0 pvserver process, not the client.
Thanks,

[Paraview] Serial remote views of distributed data
Hi all, I'm looking to convert a (currently serial) VTK application into a ParaView-style client (one that talks to a distributed set of pvserver processes) and have a few questions about pqView, distributed data, and remote display. My situation is that I have 1. large-distributed datasets as sources 2. pipelines which extract very small subsets of the data from #1 3. several vtkView subclasses which do 3-d rendering/interaction of the subsets from #2 in a non-parallel way, and 4. clients which will be run on machines without decent 3-D rendering hardware. I would like to create new pqView classes that collect data from the distributed pvservers to the rank 0 process, do the rendering on the rank 0 pvserver process (using the serial vtkViews), and use ParaView's remote image delivery mechanism to present the images to the client. Are there existing views that do this? Is the view the place where all of this should be performed or are there other places where the data aggregation should take place? I see that some of the OverView plugins are client-side views but really what I'm looking for is rendering on the rank 0 pvserver process, not the client.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView 3.7 from cvs on Mac OS X, x86_64, Qt 4.5.3 w/Cocoa
I've noticed that the filters menu is greyed out after loading a valid data set on the version of paraview I built yesterday from cvs (also updated yesterday). I have the same version of paraview built on an i386 mac using the Qt SDK instead of the Cocoa 32/64 framework, and it does not have this problem. Also, the filters appear to work (e.g. if I hit the isosurface button the filter runs correctly). Any idea what is happening here? I believe somebody mentioned that the QtDBus framework is messed up in the Qt Cocoa package, maybe I just need to build Qt from source. I've run into this problem as well. I don't have a fix, but do have a workaround... pressing the Alt+Space key will let you type in the name of a filter to create it.

[Paraview] ANNOUNCE: New statistics features in ParaView
Hi all, This is a friendly neighborhood feature announcement: there's now a new ParaView plugin (in the Plugins/Statistics directory) that presents the statistics algorithms recently added to VTK as part of the ParaView UI. You can - compute descriptive statistics (mean, variance, min, max, skewness, kurtosis), - compute contingency tables, - perform k-means analysis, - examine correlations between arrays, and - perform principal component analysis on arrays. Some more details on the plugin are at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Statistical_analysis Please let me know if you have any problems.

[Paraview] ParaView on exotic platforms
Hi all, I've been working to get ParaView (with Python turned ON) compiled on an HPC platform that doesn't support shared libraries. It almost works, but there is at least one little glitch that I don't see an easy fix for: during CMake configuration, ParaView creates a file named Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/Executable/pvpythonmodules.h which defines a routine that initializes all of the python modules ParaView requires. Unfortunately, this file is written by a macro defined in FindPythonLibs.cmake which uses a list of the modules and assumes that the function to initialize each one will be named 'init' + PREFIX + moduleName + SUFFIX This doesn't work for the mpi4py module because the build system has overridden the name of the dynamically-loaded module name. Instead of libMPIPython.so, it is simply MPIPython.so. So far, I've manually edited the pvpythonmodules file but it would be nice to have a real solution committed. Should I 1. Un-override the non-standard library name when building static Python modules 2. Change PYTHON_ADD_MODULE and PYTHON_WRITE_MODULES_HEADER to keep a list of target names (and (a) how can I do this when the target name might be changed later in CMake parsing? (b) will VTK's FindPythonLibs.cmake always be used or might the version distributed with CMake also need to change?) 3. Do something else?

Re: [Paraview] greek letters
I would change that a bit. The ability to use Latex is not the main issue here. Rather, it is the ability to use symbols and other unicode characters as well as (possibly) the ability to typeset equations. Whether this is entered as Latex or MathML or something else is more of an implementation detail, isn't it? Actually, I believe there are 3 separate issues, but they are all important: MathML is horribly tedious to type in and GUI equation editors are frustratingly slow if you know LaTeX so please don't discount human interaction. The issues are: 1. Rendering of character glyphs other than 7-bit ASCII 2. Lay out and rendering of mathematical equations (and possibly other formatted text like tables) 3. Easy input of equations (and other text for fancy layout). Also, Berk didn't say it, but at least in VTK you can now use a Qt renderer that will draw any Unicode string so #1 above is done but not taken advantage of in ParaView. However, this does have the disadvantage of requiring Qt on the server side since I believe labels are drawn by all the processes running pvserver.

Re: [Paraview] LSDYNA support in 3.6.1
I have another program that has supposedly generated an LSDYNA file named *.k. ParaView 3.6.1 does recognize the file type as something it thinks it can open but when I select the file and click "Open" from the file dialog I get another window that asks me to specify the reader to use and LSDYNA isn't in the list. Thoughts? The *.k files are input decks. The LSDyna reader in VTK really only reads output decks (named d3plot, d3plot1, ...). If those are present, it will read the input deck to obtain part names but does not read the input deck for geometry or boundary condition information.

It was my understanding that was what mpi_yield_when_idle was there to fix -- since oversubscribed slots will otherwise have multiple processes in busy-wait loops -- but I haven't fiddled with it in a while.

This is configurable on the mpirun command line: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=running#force-aggressive-degraded If you set the MCA parameter mpi_yield_when_idle to a non-zero value, OpenMPI will not aggressively poll inside MPI routines.

Re: [Paraview] error in X86_64: libvtkalglib.so
Ricardo, As Berk mentions, install rules have been added. Can you say exactly when your had a checkout that was working and when you updated and it stopped working? I added vtkalglib to VTK 2008-12-04 15:57:36 GMT and added the install rule 2008-12-15 23:12:04 GMT. Depending on when things stopped working, I may have more to fix.
