Dear all, I am performing Discrete Element Simulations of granular materials. I have successfully employed Paraview to visualize the grains and to filter by its scalar and vectorial data, printing to vtk xml vtp files. Now, I would like to use Paraview to explore the connectivity structure of the contacts, and, for instance, to be able to scale/color/etc by normal force magnitude and so on. I would like to know what is the best way to represent the contacts among particles. In principle, they are "lines" that goes from the center of one particle to the other. Its "width" could be proportional to some scalar value, like the normal force** magnitude.
I tried to use lines, and in order to scale to use a glyph. Unfortunately, the glyphs are applied to the points of the line. Should I use just points and apply a cylinder glyph on them? how can I "orient" the glyph to point from center to center? the normal vectors attribute is useful for that? Thanks for your kind attention, time, and help.
