Hi all,
I use almost exclusively binary vtk for everything that I export from
GetFEM. I have experienced no issues with that on Linux with Paraview up to
version 5. Do you experience problems on both Windows and Linux?
In addition to that I use the attached script to convert the binary vtk to
compressed vtu files which saves some extra space.
