Thanks all, I have gotten it to work. And it does like I expect. In my early excursions using Paraview, it’s totally possible to do things that doesn’t crash it but otherwise hoses up subsequent downstream movements. I don’t say that to complain as it’s quite amazing for opensource and perhaps it’s mostly user error. It’s just wise sometimes to exit and reload I find ☺ -rich

Ahh…. Filters. But the variable did not seem available for use by subsequent filters after the filter application. That’s confusing me. But I’ll try again. -rich From: Moreland, Kenneth [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 09, 2015 12:06 PM To: Rinehart, Richard D. (GRC-VG00)[DB Consulting Group, Inc.]; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Paraview] Defining new Variables Richard, Did you click the "Apply" button after entering the expression in the calculator filter? After you click the Apply button ParaView will evaluate your expression on all elements of your data. The new variable becomes part of the newly generated data set labeled as "Calculator1" or something similar in the pipeline browser (at the left of the GUI). The variable is available when showing that data in the view or adding subsequent filters to that. If this talk of filters is confusing, I suggest taking a look at the ParaView tutorial (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/The_ParaView_Tutorial) and/or the ParaView guide as Utkarsh suggested earlier to learn the fundamental concepts of ParaView. -Ken From: <Rinehart>, "Inc.]" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Monday, February 9, 2015 at 8:51 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Defining new Variables Greetings! A relative newbie Paraview question[http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/images/smilies/smile.gif]. In Ensight I use the calculator to define essentially a new variable, such as degrees F as computed from K. I've done that in Paraview but it doesn't seem to then be available to use. ? _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com<http://www.kitware.com> Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview
