[Paraview] Diagrams displayed on sections in 3D

[Matthias Preisig]

My question is related to a typical problem occurring in postprocessing 
of finite element results for shell elements. Usually one would like to 
display sectional forces as diagrams, but plotted directly onto the 3D 
shell model, as in https://ibb.co/irp2v5.


I can imagine that it should be feasible to create a paraview filter 
that can do the following:

- create a plane as in the clip/cut filter
- select the component to display (membrane force x/y/magnitude, 
moments, shear force etc)

- scale the diagram appropriately

Similar functionality would be useful for beam/truss results, 
visualizing forces along the elements.


I'm quite sure that I'm not the first one with such a demand. Does 
anyone know of a paraview plugin that would accomplish this?


Thanks and best regards
Matthias

[Paraview] animate point data in single file as time steps

[Matthias Preisig]

I'm using vtkUnstructuredGrid to display point data that changes with time.
The unstructured grid, however, remains unchanged.

Instead of creating a new vtu-file for each time step that contains all the
grid information, i created a single vtu-file containing the point data for
each time step as a separate data array. The idea is that this avoids
having to reload the grid for each time step.

Now what I'd like to do is to loop through all the time steps saved as data
arrays using some python code.

Does anyone know how to do that? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Matthias
