Re: [Libmesh-users] Visit read exodus: elemental variables can not be plot directly.

I typically use Paraview (also free) to visualize Exodus format. It paints each element one solid color when displaying constant monomial values. The result is a somewhat pixelated view of your solution field which is probably what you are looking for if you don't like the averaging that Visit is

systems_of_equations_ex6 might resolve your question. In that case we plot stresses as elemental data via exo_io.write_element_data(equation_systems), and if you view the resulting exodus file in paraview you'll see that the stress is plotted discontinuously. David

[Libmesh-users] Visit read exodus: elemental variables can not be plot directly.

Hi all, I defined some elemental variables (i.e. system.variables (constant monomial)), and write to exodus file using equations_systems.write. But VIsit pseudo-plot will averages the elemental variables on nodes first and then plot nodal variables. 1) Is there anyone who has a fix for this, such
