output and also to assign the real time step value in seconds

It doesn't seem to be very hard to create this PVD file by hand,
but I was just wondering if there is something in the VTK library
that could automatically create these files for me. I still could
not understand how I can assign the real time step in seconds to a

possible, some directions that could help me implement that would
be very nice!

Thanks once again!

The problem is that I expect the TemporalStatistics filter

during the script creation) to have a single output for
this filter.

Thanks in advance.

[Paraview] Coprocessing with many time steps

[Hermano Lustosa]

I have doubt about using paraview catalyst from my simulation code. Suppose
I created a simple Paraview pipeline containing the TemporalStatistics
filter only.

Initially, it is not clear for which "dummy" source is adequate for the
script. I used a simple programmable source or even a unstructured cell
types source to create the python script. Then, I call the script from
catalyst in my code like this:

for each time step
update grid;
create data description;
call coprocessing method;

The problem is that I expect the TemporalStatistics filter to create a
single file containing the statistics for all the time steps. However, this
approach creates a file for every time step. What I should do in the
catalyst (or during the script creation) to have a single output for this
filter.

Thanks in advance.

[Paraview] Remote rendering through reverse SSH breaks with a GLX error

[Robert Sawko]

Dear Paraviewers,

I am trying to run Paraview in a client-server mode on a remote compute node
using a reverse SSH through the login node.

I have successfully worked out my port forwarding skulduggery and was able to
connect to a host which does NOT run X server. Inside my local client. I do get
an error

"Display is not accessible on the server side. Remote rendering
will be disabled"

This is to be expected on the node without X.

On the node with X running my client gets connected but then breaks with:

Waiting for client...
Connection URL: cs://pgc104:6
Accepting connection(s): pgc104:6
Client connected.
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
...
(core dumped)


Finally on the login node client-server works fine and rendering (I guess)
is done on the remote side as I don't get any errors. We have made sure that
xorg.conf on login and X-enabled compute node are the same.


My connection procedure:

local% ssh -L 6:localhost:6 login_node
login% bsub -R "select[hname=pgc104]" -Is /bin/bash
pgc104% ssh -N -R 6:localhost:6 login &
pgc104% DISPLAY=:0.0 pvserver -sp=6 --use-offscreen-rendering
local% paraview->connect to localhost:6

Same thing works on pgc304 which doesn't run X. Please let us know if you have
any suggestions.

Best wishes,
Robert

Not currently, but that's a nice and easy feature to add. Feel free to
report a feature request.

Not currently supported also, I am afraid.

[Paraview] Force or deactivate some Readers. Reuse the Paraview already running

[Felipe Bordeu]

I already put this in a feature request, but I dont know if someone is
interested:

1) I always work with xmdf files and every time I have to choose the reader
to use in the menu, can we deactivate or force the use of a specific reader
in the command line?

I know a can change the extension of my file and creates a plugin (100%
xml) to use this new extension with my preferred reader. but I was thinking
something  more at the app level (not a hack).

2) also if I run a second command line to run paraview (with a filename as
argument) can we reuse the instance of paraview already running. (to
compare results for example)

Any idea of how to solve this

[Paraview] XDMF Version 2 and 3 Differences

[Michael Jackson]

Where might I find the differences between XDMF version 2 and 3? Our project 
writes a .xdmf file along side our HDF5 file so that ParaView can visualize the 
data. Ever since ParaView version 5.x was released with the XDMF 3 included we 
always have to select the "XDMF Writer" when opening the file. If we select the 
either of the XDMF 3 writers no data is loaded. I was wanting to figure out if 
there is something we need to adjust in our XDMF files so that the XDMF 3 
readers work correctly with our data/files.

Thanks
