I have a sequence of legacy VTK files, e.g.: file_0.vtk, file_1.vtk, file_2.vtk, which I can open in ParaView as a time series (described here) as file_..vtk, and the sequence of files can be viewe...

I'm aware that you can add readers for different datafile types to paraview, however, that all talks about doing a bunch of VTK stuff in c++ and (maybe worse) re-compiling paraview to make it aware...

I installed OpenFOAM on Ubuntu (which is itself on WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux). I have a problem when trying to launch paraFoam and I have this error : Invalid $PV_PLUGIN_PATH and -plugin-path...

Closest related question is this one: In Ipython, how can I pass arguments to a cell as though it were its own script? I am writing an ipython notebook to make simulations and then create an anima...

I have a VTK file (unstructured grid) with points and cells. I can import the file and read it into using the meshio python package. If I type the command mesh.cells I see a dictionary called 'hexa...

For example, I generate the data with: i=0; while [ "$i" -lt 10 ]; do echo "$i,$((2*i)),$((4*i))"; i=$((i+1)); done > main.csv which contains: 0,0,0 1,2,4 2,4,8 3,6,12 4,8,16 5,10,20 6,12,24...

For those that want to export a simple 3D numpy array (along with axes) to a .vtk (or .vtr) file for post-processing and display in Paraview or Mayavi there's a little module called PyEVTK that doe...

I am trying to use paraview to plot a xy plot. The plot I want is just a linear relationship between x and y. So I import my data file (data.csv) into paraview. My data is shown below: X Y 0 0 1 1...

I am trying to run a simple code for paraview from jupyter notebook as following: from paraview.simple import * cone = Cone() Show(cone) Render() But this gives me an error ERROR:In/home/con...

For a Lattice Boltzmann simulation of a lid-driven cavity (CFD) I'm decomposing my cubic domain into (also cubic) 8 subdomains, which are computed independently by 8 ranks. Each MPI rank is produci...

I have a general question as to how paraview reads a ASCII UNSTRUCTURED_GRID. Does it sort through the cells and then points? or points then cells?

I'm currently trying to convert given Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) to spherical coordinates (r, theta, phi) using the ParaView Calculator-Filter, where theta is the polar angle and phi the azimuth...

Performance-wise, the following code snippet works perfectly fine for me when plotting in mayavi. import numpy as np from mayavi import mlab n = 5000 x = np.random.rand(n) y = np.random.rand(n) z...

I have a scalar field in a 3D domain (fortunately it can be represented in a structured grid). However, one axis domain is considerably larger than the other two. For sake of clarity, my 'vts' fil...

The default 3D rotation mode is a kind of rollerball mode. Is it possible to interactively rotate about a given axis (say x, y or z axis), instead? I see you can do it by typing numbers into the vi...

I would like to automate exporting csv files from vtk/vtu files. Right now, the steps I take are: open paraview load in the pvd file that stores the information about all vtu files (one for eac...

I need to add my own, self made qt gui in paraview. I heard about paraview plugins that should allow that. But I do not find a tutorial on it. How can I add buttons, checkboxes, comboboxes in Parav...
