Hello again!
I'm looking at using coprocessing for something that may take awhile to
actually compute, so I would like to do it in a non-blocking fashion.
Essentially I am going to be extracting data from the simulation into some
numpy arrays (so once copied, the original data in the pipeline
So the “Extract Block” filter should do the trick. Extract the blocks with the
truss elements and write that out to a mesh file.

Ken,
Actually, I want to get just the truss elements that are embedded in the hex
elements and write them out to a mesh file. I’ve been playing in Patran, but I
still end up with some trusses sticking out of the solid.
So, not rendering, I want to make a new element block which is clipped by
Having the data in multiblock format is good. It is pretty easy to turn blocks
on and off.
The easiest way to turn of the visibility of a block is to right click it in
the 3D view and selected “Hide Block” from the pop-up menu.
For somewhat more sophisticated controls, use the Multi-block
The following should work:
- Gradient of Unstructured Data Set
- Extract Surface
- Generate Surface Normals
- Calculator filter to compute the wall shear stress from the gradient
and the surface normals.

Ken,
Yes it is a multiblock dataset and the rebar blocks are different than the hex
blocks.
