[Paraview] Rotational Degrees of Freedom
In many applications particularly engineering ones, structural finite elements are used such as beams and shells. In the case of beams, in addition to degrees of freedom representing translations there exist rotational degrees of freedom. Is there a way to make paraview 'recognize' these rotational degrees of freedom so that it's able to produce a correct deformed shape visualization? Thank you for your help.

[Paraview] Help with 'Plot Selection Over Time' Filter
I am having the following problem with paraview. I have a .pvd which refers to 6000-8000 .vtu files one for each time step. Each .vtu file contains information for a finite element mesh consisting of 4-5 nodes in 3 dimensions and contains vector values for displacement , velocity and acceleration. I load the .pvd file andi nteract with the model or watch the animation and everything is fine. The problem starts when I select a certain node and choose 'plot selection over time' filter. The moment I press 'Apply' in the pipeline browser, paraview becomes unresponsive and I have to wait for about 5 minutes for the chart to appear. My pc has 16gb of ram and an i7 4970k cpu so I don't think that the problem is lack of resources . Am I doing something wrong? If show can you give me a hint where to look for a faster solution (a python script maybe) or is this kind of performance normal for my case? Thank you very much.

[Paraview] Mixed Formulation FEM in Paraview
I would like to ask if it is possible to display scalar, vector or tensor values at distinct nodes in a finite element mesh. To make things clearer, there exist finite element formulations where not all nodes have the same number of degrees of freedom. Consider the case of a 20 node hexahedral element. In a so called u-p formulation all 20 nodes have 3 displacement degrees of freedom (one for each x, y, z axis) but only the 8 corner nodes have pressure degrees of freedom. For this particular case, i know how to display the vector of displacements for all the nodes. But since only the corner nodes of each hexahedron have pressure degrees of freedom how can I instruct paraview to 'see' that only these nodes have the pressure scalar values and make the correct color interpolation? Thank you very much.
