Re: [Paraview] Non-blocking coprocessing

Hi Tim, I am not sure about the non-blocking type communication is supported by ParaView, Catalyst or not but i think that assigning an extra core for global reduction is possible. You could use MPI communication for this purpose. So, look at following code of mine for overloaded coprocessori

Ken, I might be a little dense here, but I missed the part where I clip the truss elements by the surface of the solid before writing them out. Dennis From: Moreland, Kenneth [mailto:kmo...@sandia.gov] Sent: Monday, October 24, 2016 5:33 PM To: Dennis Conklin ; Paraview (paraview@paraview.org)

[Paraview] Project polygon onto surface

2016-10-25 Thread Adam Dershowitz
Is there a way to project a 2D, or 3D polygon onto a surface. Specifically I have some elevation data, that is displaying fine. But the data has a lot of vertical variation. I have a polygon that represents the boundaries of different regions. So, the polygon is effectively 2D. Although, I c

Hi Adam I think the Slice Along Polyline Filter is what you need. Just select the data set and the poly line in the window popping up and then proceed in the properties section as usual. Cheers Venke > Adam Dershowitz hat am 25. Oktober 2016 um 16:01 > geschrieben: > > > Is there a way to p

I don't think that will do it. Because, I don't want to slice anything. I just want to show the boundaries on the 3D surface. I want to project the polygon that marks the edges of a region, onto the 3D topography. It seems that Slice Along Polyline uses a laser to cut a section of the surface

OK, I think I misinterpreted your question. I thought you were asking how to extract the truss part out of a blob of elements. I guess you are asking to clip one set of elements (the truss) with another set of elements (the blob). I don’t think there is any way of clipping the truss by a surface

[Paraview] Loading XML configuration file from pvpython

Hello, I have a programmable filter that is wrapped into a custom plugin using an XML configuration file. If I use the GUI and go to the Manage Plugins and load it, everything is fine. However, I can't figure out how to load it inside pvpython. I am trying to do: servermanager.ProxyManager(

Hi Tim, This may be better to do as an in transit set up. This way the processes would be independent. Through Catalyst I'd worry about all of the processes waiting on the global rank 0 doing work before all of the other Catalyst ranks return control to the simulation. Depending on the system you'

Hi Andy, I'll take a look at the in transit approach. I'm essentially extracting a slice every N steps and collecting it as a single slice on a single processor each time, accumulating the slices as I go. Then every M*N steps, I want that single processor to do an expensive operation and save

Hi Tim, Yep, you're use case looks like a really good choice to do in transit. As a start I'd suggest doing the slice in situ with Catalyst, write it out to a .pvtp file every nth time step and then having a separate process reading the files in (don't read the nth step until the nth+1 .pvtp file

Adam, Have you actually tried the filter? Because I think the output is exactly what you're asking for: the "section" of the surface is the part of the surface where the polyline is proceted onto it, hence a polyline with the regarding topography values for the respective z coordinates. Cheers Ve
