Hi Battalgazi, Since you already can drive your simulation with Python, another relatively simple way (until ParaView directly supports it) could be to add to your Python code to update the ParaView scene every time after you write the simulation data. http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting
I may be wrong in details since I have done this only in C++ not in Python, but the steps should look something like - mark anyhow your ParaView reader as modified - reader.UpdatePipelineInformation() to rescan the timesteps - reader.UpdatePropertyInformation() to pull the updated timesteps - get the last element of reader.TimestepValues - set the view.ViewTime to the last timestep - (optional) rescale the range of the color lookup table - view.StillRender() Takuya OSHIMA, Ph.D. Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University 8050 Ikarashi-Ninocho, Nishi-ku, Niigata, 950-2181, JAPAN From: "Moreland, Kenneth" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Paraview] a general question, Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 10:05:22 -0600 > The lowest hanging fruit: If your simulation is writing out data files > intermittently, you can just start ParaView and load them in.
