Dear all, In order to nicely visualize a dynamic 3D model I want to use ParaView in combination which EnsightGold (*.case) files. My tetrahedral FE model has a static geometry and only one variable of the elements (scalar per element) is changing over time.
To this end I created three files: (1) example.case, (2) example.geo, (3) example.sigma. The latter is holding all timesteps of the dynamic variable (in my case the conductivity). Furthermore, I've verified these files using the ens_checker application which concludes with a positive "Hooray! Data format verification SUCCESSFUL with No Warnings". However, if I load the casefile in ParaView only the first timestep can be visualized. As soon as I change the time to another timestep ParaView freezes (no more reaction and consumes 100% of CPU). Is it possible that what I want to do using the EnsightGold files is not supported by ParaView? What else would you suggest me to resolve this problem? Thank you very much for your help in advance. Best wishes, Fab PS: I am using ParaView 4.3.1 on a Win 7 64-bit machine PS2: A hint which might be useful for others looking for the ens_checker application: I simply downloaded the current trial version of Ensight, opened the executable of the setup in an archive manager (e.g. 7-zip), located and extracted the ens_checker.exe.
