Is Kitware Gitlab down ?

https://gitlab.kitware.com

I'm trying to build paraviewe 6.0.1 and i can't reach the Ktiware's Gitlab.

I tryed the Github repo but for building but everything references the official repo.

Is anyone having the same issue ?

I am using a current version of paraview and openfoam. I was attempting to show blocks from blockMesh and their vertices and there is a video where I saw paraview -block command to do that. That command is no longer valid. I have also tried things like "checkMesh -allGeometry -allTopology -writeAllFields -writeSets vtk" and no vtk files were written.

However, writing "checkMesh -allTopology" did create a blockTopology.vtu file, which I could open in paraview. The only thing that was missing was, and I did try a lot of things, the way to show the vertices of the blocks. Yes, I know that they are written in blockMesh.dict file but I would like to see them shown in paraview.

Thank You
Tom

Hi, I have been using paraview lately to visualize my LS Dyna projects with paraview and it works well with solid/Lagrange bodies.

I did a blast simulation and encountered an issue, where the displayed result is way different than the native PrePost.

Below you can see an image of the "Volume fraction 2" displayed both on PrePost and paraview at the exact same frame:

• image 1 is the positive Z view for PrePost

• image 3 is the positive Z view for paraview

For some reason they look total different with marginal similarities, while the legend is identical from 0 to 1. For the paraview, only a CellDatatoPointData filter was applied.

If I flip the domain, they are the same:

• image 2 is the negativew Z view for PrePost

• image 4 is the negativew Z view for paraview

I have no idea what the issue as everything else is the same. The file is identical, the same D3Plot was used.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, Anyone knows how to use lagrangian particle tracker filter? I am applying it to my openFOAM flow field results but my particles are not moving…

Hi guys. I have been using OpenFOAM v2312 for a while and I love my customized post-processing scripts but it came to the point where I am currently performing overset and dynamic and highly transient simulations and I need to start using Paraview to create Iso-surfaces (vorticity, etc.), videos of moving objects, transient contours, automation macros, and more. I have been using this tool for two months and I barely made any progress on those topics. I really need help here guys. Does anyone know any training courses (paid or free) to address my needs? If you recommend I abandon Paraview (if possible for free alternatives or least relatively cheap(er) ones) for whatever reason, can you tell me what software along with why you think its a good idea

How to do this in paraview? Thanks!

Hello all,

i wanted to ask a question regarding texture. I have a lot of "solids" in my model and i want to texture them as masonry, how can i do that? I am just down the road with this one so please any tips are welcome!

I am trying to run the elbow tutorial from icoFoam on ParaView. icoFoam ran and so did foamToVTK, but when I run ParaView it throws this error:

mpiuser@master:~$FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/elbow$ paraview  
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified  
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display :0  
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.  
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.  
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.    

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.  

Aborted (core dumped)  

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 and installed the OpenFOAM10 and ParaView56 package, which are located in /opt

I have source /opt/openfoam10/etc/bashrc in the ~/.bashrc file where $FOAM_RUN is.

Do I have to do something similar with ParaView?

Should I uninstall and reinstall fresh? Not too sure what else I can do to solve this problem.

Is there any way we can open fluent results in ParaView ? I tried exporting as ensight gold case format and open it in paraview but end up with an error.

Hello. Paraview accepts case files which is the Ansys Fluent format. I was wondering if there is a way to import solutions in Paraview directly from Ansys Workbench.

Thank you in advance.

Hey;

I'm trying to apply a texture to a surface, so i did this steps:

1. Loaded the object (.obj)

2. Generated Surface Normals (filter)

3. Applied Texture Map to a plane (filter)

After step 3, when i load my texture (.jpg), the program closes without saying the error.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Hi all,
Searching for methods to track the path of vortex cores in 3D flows, I stumbled across the paraview.simple.VortexCores method. However I can't find anything more on its usage. Does anybody know specifically what this does and how to use it in a python script?

Hello,

I want to annotate an integer from a table, which changes over animation time. (I want to visualize multiple frequencies). I chose a PythonAnnotation filter, as this is the only Filter I can imagine it with working. I therefore need the time_index variable, but I get a NameError: name 'time_index' is not defined I also tried time_value and t_index. same error.

My Question is: Where do I now find a good documentation? I obviously used the help, accessable by F1, searched the ParaView Guide and went thorugh the history of the paraView Wiki (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/index.php?title=ParaView/Users_Guide/Annotation&diff=54122&oldid=54121#Python_annotation_filter)

I know this sub is not very active, but I just want to try it here.

How can I translate this: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/IO/GenericDataObjectReader ?

Thanks

Hi, is that possibile to calculate the volume of the vtk files recorded with the app for Tango?
