[Paraview] Rotational Degrees of Freedom

2015-03-04 Thread Teo Ioannis
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

[Paraview] Help with 'Plot Selection Over Time' Filter

2015-01-08 Thread Teo Ioannis
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

[Paraview] Mixed Formulation FEM in Paraview

2014-12-09 Thread Teo Ioannis
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
