Hi all, I want to get data from our finite element CFD solver into paraview, so I'd like to write an exporter that writes in the format that is best suited and well supported by existing paraview readers. It should be possible to read large data sets in parallel, with good performance.
Currently, I'm considering using the VTK file format with a .pvd xml at the top level, but I have some concerns: - When importing data using EnSight, it names the zones correctly, i.e. if you had a group of 2D cells called "inlet", it would show up in the tree and can be filtered with ExtractBlock. Is it possible to assign names using the VTK/pvd format? - The boundary zones would have to be separate blocks, as I understand. Is it possible for them to reuse the point data of the volume mesh? In our solver, the points are stored only once, and different zones can point to indices in one big array of coordinates. - When using multiple blocks as a result of parallelization, are points at the boundaries between blocks duplicated? If not, how is this specified?
