[Paraview] VTK parallel unstructured grid and halo elements

2015-01-17 Thread Louie Cardone-Noott
Hi Paraview list, I use a finite element code that generates VTK output, but I'm having trouble dealing with halo (ghost) nodes/elements correctly. We currently partition meshes node-wise, and each process writes all its owned nodes and one level of halo nodes to a chunk. Once all the chunks are

Hi again list, Inspired by David Ortley's recent success (see "Smooth seams in SILO files") I wonder if perhaps the way I'm doing it is correct, but Paraview is incorrectly considering the values at hidden nodes when calculating data ranges. Essentially my "option 3" (writing a vtkGhostLevels arr

Hi Louie, Ghost/halo nodes are considered valid (but duplicated) so they are taken into account when calculating ranges, statistics etc. What you need is to mark them as invalid, it sounds like? We are making slow progress towards having an infrastructure that supports this but currently it is onl

Hi Berk, Thanks for your reply. Yes that does sound like what I need to do. Shouldn't the nodes of elements with vtkGhostLevels>0 already be ignored in the range calculation though? Is there no way to do this currently then? I tried marking them with vtkGhostPoints but it didn't help last time I

The only way to do this currently is to use the threshold filter to remote the halo nodes. Best, -berk On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 6:32 AM, Louie Cardone-Noott < louie.cardone-no...@linacre.ox.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi Berk, > > Thanks for your reply. Yes that does sound like what I need to do. > Shouldn't
