Matthias,
An approach that works well for me is to exploit the "Part" feature in
either the VTK-formats or the EnSight format.
The "Part" construct in the VTK XML-format looks to me to have
originated based on the need to combine for ParaView a set of results
generated from individual CPU's. It can also be used for an assembly of
parts. In my case, material domains are used to define the "Parts." The
PV Extract Block filter displays the user's part names and can be used
to display any combination of "Parts."
Again in my case, it is important to know that point-sets, and element
edge-sets and face-sets at time(0.0) are properly defined. At
time(0.0), a mesh-by-material, point-sets, edge-sets, and face-sets (aka
side-sets) are generated, all based on the "Part" construct, for the
express purpose of visualizing these in ParaView before a simulation is run.
The key to doing this is to understand that each "Part" needs to be a
complete, standalone, displayable graphics object.
Should you or your staff be interested in exploring this approach, a set
of FORTRAN language routines can be provided.

Hi Cory,
this helped indeed, thank you.
I load the mesh.vtu file and apply the Threshold filter on the GeometryID, and
display that together with my simulation results. That works fine.
If I want to display several parts selectively, I can use several Thresholds,
which is a bit clumsy.
It would be nice to be able to get a list of all GeometryIDs, and to check
those which I want displayed. Do you know if there is a way to do that? Or on a
more general basis: are there other, more elegant ways to display a geometry in
ParaView?
Thanks again,
Matthias

Betreff: Re: [Paraview] display boundaries of 2D geometry
Matthias,
I'm not sure I fully understand exactly what you are trying to do, but
I will try to make a suggestion anyway. If the edges have a cell data
array giving the ID, you should be able to use the Threshold filter to
extract the edges associated with a particular body ID. Just set the
threshold values to the ID you want to see.
Hope that helps,
Cory

Hi,
is there a way to display the boundaries (edges) of a 2D geometry? I have
converted my mesh to vtu using Elmergrid, so I have the IDs of bodies
(=surfaces in 2D) and boundaries (edges) in a vtu file. Can I just display
the edges having the same ID? The extract edges filter does not help.
What
else could I try?
Thank you for a helpful hint,
Matthias
