[Paraview] Best way to represent a network of contacts

2010-12-29 Thread William Oquendo
Dear all, I am performing Discrete Element Simulations of granular materials. I have successfully employed Paraview to visualize the grains and to filter by its scalar and vectorial data, printing to vtk xml vtp files. Now, I would like to use Paraview to explore the connectivity structure of the c

Hey William, Have you included the "connectivity structure" explicitly in the data you're visualizing (as edges between the grain centers), or is your data really a bunch of vertices with the connectivity embedded in a vector attribute at each vertex? If the contact "lines" are really part of t

Dear Eric, Your first suggestion sounds like the way to go. I call it suggestion instead of question because I am not actually printing the connectivity info, I was just wondering what would be the best way for printing that info. It is relatively easy for me to write the "lines" that join the cen
