[Paraview] Exporting ICEM CFD Mesh to ParaView
Hi, I'm trying to export a mesh generated in ICEM CFD to ParaView. I realized that I can export the mesh to Exodus II format and then open it with ParaView, but no information about the parts of the mesh is loaded, just the blocks. Any reader available to export geometry and mesh from ICEM CFD to ParaView ? I would like that the MultiBlockDataSet generated as result have information about the parts created in ICEM CFD.

[Paraview] Hide Cells/Points
Hi, I'm programming a plugin for ParaView, whose purpose is to be a pre-processor for a finite element simulator. It is all based in selecting nodes or elements, and defining some regions - based on these - so that one can attribute boundary conditions to them. The main challenge seems to assure that the user will be able to select EVERY node or element he wants. So I'm treating all kind of selections, but I'm stucked in some problems and I have some questions: 1-Why the New Range button in the Selection Inspector is always deactivated ? Is this option already implemented in ParaView ? 2-It would be pretty useful if the user could select all the nodes/cells in an coordinates interval. Is there anyway to do this ? Selection based on location only allows me to select one coordinate at a time, but I can't specify an interval. 3-Is there anyway to hide selected cells/nodes ? I don't want to extract them with a filter (I would do this by just applying the Extract Selection filter) but just restrict the mesh in the screen to some subset. If I could do this, it would be easier (or even possible) to select some cells by picking. 4-Finally, Is there anyway to control Frustum's shape or dimensions ? Thanks in advance for your help.

[Paraview] MultiblockDataSet Global IDs
Hi, how to correctly generate a Points Global IDs to a vtkMultiBlockDataSet ? The IDs must, of course, be unique. I tried to iterate through the blocks and attribute to each part a vtkIntArray with the IDs, but of course this does not work when the parts have points in common. Also, I'm specially interested in MultiBlock comming from Ensight files, and I discovered recently that the Ensight Reader does not associate the true number of points to each part. So the GetNumberOfPoints() method doesn't work in these cases. How to achieve this ? I really need these Global IDs in order to uniquely identify each node of my model, to create a finite element preprocessor.

[Paraview] Transforming Points IDs to Global IDs
Hi, what is the easiest way to transform Points IDs to Global IDs ? I have a Multiblock Dataset, and I can iterate through its blocks, get each cell of each block and get the ids of its points. These points ids are unique and global, since my model is being read with the Ensight reader. Now, I would like that this point information persists when I apply a filter to my model. For example: suppose I have a Model with 2 parts: A and B. When I look at the points nodes which belong to the part A, I have a set. Then I extract this part, selecting it and using Extract Selection filter. When I look again to its points ids it seems that I have another set: they have been regenerated, and begin with 0 and end with number of points. Is there a way to avoid this ?

[Paraview] Multiblock Dataset number of points
Hi, I'm experiencing something weird when opening Ensight case files with ParaView. I am able to open them normally, and ParaView instantiates a Multiblock Dataset with the parts corresponding to the ones contained in the .geo file. But when I open the model, the number of points info in the information tab doesn't seem to be right. It displays the same number to all the components (which does not correspond to the reality) and this number is quite larger than the real number of point. I posted an example in the link below. I opened a Multiblock and extracted a block of it. ParaView says it has 38560 points, but it is visually obvious that this information is wrong. Is this a bug ? http://www.nacad.ufrj.br/~rnelias/paraview/pv-fig-num-points.jpg ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
[Paraview] Server Manager Properties and the apply button
Hi, I have a filter which implements a custom object panel, through extension of the pqNamedObjectPanel class. Generally, I don't match the widget names with the Server Manager Properties names, but I am able to change the properties by calling vtkSMProxy::UpdateProperty(PropertyName,1). So, I have to hit ParaView's APPLY button only when the filter is instantiated. When I set the SM properties due to some GUI changes, ParaView never requires the APPLY button to be hit. Now I've added a checkbox to the GUI, and when its state changes, I want that some IntVectorProperty be changed JUST when the user press APPLY. I mean, I want that APPLY be activated and waiting to be pressed when I change the state of the checkbox, and when this is done, the Server state should be changed. How can I achieve this ?

Re: [Paraview] Getting Blocks Selection
Utkarsh, for me is actually ok, as you suggested, to use the Extract Selection filter as a black box. It will do what I need, which is to get the global id's of the nodes which the user selected (no matter how). The Extract Selection filter does exactly this job, right ? At least I'm able to do using it by hands in ParaView. I'm just having difficulties in setting up the inputs of this filter. It seems that the class vtkPVExtractSelection is an interface for the already existing filter vtkExtractSelection. The latter requires the vtkDataObject, from which we want to extract a piece, and a vtkSelection object, which represents the selected points or cells (Actually this is what is stated in vtkExtractSelection::FillInputPortInformation and opposed as explained in the documentation, so the docs might be wrong). My question is, how can I get - from my filter's code - a vtkSelection object, which represents exactly what the user is selecting in ParaView's screen ? If I am able to get this information, I can use the vtkPVExtractSelection filter and the job is done ! Thanks for your attention.

Hi, I've developed a plugin for ParaView, and now I would like to distribute it to some researchers, so that they can use it. As the binaries of ParaView in the website aren't compiled with support to shared libs, I think I must pack my own version of it. What I would like to do, is to give them a zipped folder with a distribution of ParaView and the dll of the plugin (Windows environment). They should execute a .bat file (which would set environment variables like PATH and PV_PLUGIN_PATH) to get ParaView to run, and automatically put my filter in the filter menu. The question is: how to get this to work ?

But it most certainly is not recommended. Fetching data from the output of any filter/source should be done only by views such as the render view/xy line plot view/ spreadsheet view etc. However if you insist on getting the data to the client side create a client-delivery representation. Look at the implementation of Fetch() function in Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/servermanager.py for details.

[Paraview] Highlighting Selected Area

In this panel, I can select in a QComboBox an integer number, from 0 to 6. Suppose now that I have an unstructured grid, whose cells contain a scalar data field. What I want to do is, when a specific integer is selected, the cells which have this number associated as scalar data have their edges highlighted. By highlighted I mean coloured in green, pink, red, or any different color. ParaView colors my model according to the number associated with each cell. I want to have this colors preserved. What I want to do is exactly what Selection Inspector does, when I choose to select by Threshold. Any suggestions ?

For example, you can create a combo box in the GUI by adding an EnumerationDomain to an IntVectorProperty or you could create a checkbox by adding a BooleanDomain. You can also create your own properties panel using Qt code. The wiki page on ParaView plugins has a simple example of customizing the auto-generated panel.

I've managed to add some QT Widgets in the properties tab by extending the
pqAutoGeneratedObjectPanel. Now, how can I handle events generated by the GUI,
in order to change properties of the model displayed in the screen ? I mean,
how can I really connect my filter with the ObjectPanel ?
Thanks again !
Rafael March.

You can customize the GUI somewhat by modifying the server manager XML that
describes your filter. For example, you can create a combo box in the GUI
by adding an EnumerationDomain to an IntVectorProperty or you could create a
checkbox by adding a BooleanDomain.
You can also create your own properties panel using Qt code. The wiki page
on ParaView plugins has a simple example of customizing the auto-generated
panel. You can provide even more customization (for example, by using your
own panel created in Qt Designer) by subclassing either pqNamedObjectPanel
or pqObjectPanel.

Hey all,
I have my own filter running well in Paraview. I would like to extend it
to
enable adding scalar or vector properties, as well as changing existing
data
of nodes and cells. I would like to implement this feature through a
customized GUI, like buttons, combo boxes and so on in the properties tab
of
the filter.
How can I access and modify this tab ? Should I do it inside my filters
code ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks all,

[Paraview] Getting original node's id's
Hey Paraview Community, I have a filter that receives an UnstructuredGrid as input, and associates an integer number (according to some rule, of course) to each Point of the mesh. So, I can use the Threshold filter to separate a piece of my model from the rest (for instance, I can filter my model in order to show only the nodes whose integer number is 6). The problem is, when I use this filter, Paraview atributtes new id's to the nodes. I would like to maintain the original numbers ! Does anybody know how to solve this problem ? I thought that I might store the point's memory address so that I can walk through the pipeline later and recover the id, but I don't think Paraview maintain these addresses either. Thanks in advance. Rafael March. ___ ParaView mailing list ParaView@paraview.org http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
Re: [Paraview] Writer example
Hi, unfortunatelly, I couldn't compile it. Got 17 error LNK:unresolved external symbol like errors. Have any idea what's wrong ? Do you have another example ? Thanks !

I wonder if anyone could send me a source code with an writer example, so that I can use it as a template. I know that there is one called MyTiffWriter under Examples/Plugin/ Writer, in the latest cvs version of Paraview. I've already compiled it, and it works fine. But, it has no code implementation, just overwrites the already existing vtkTiffWriter. So, it would be more useful to me an example with an explicit writer implementation. Can anyone provide me this code ? Thanks in advance.
