Re: [Paraview] Anyone know of a reader for SAT (Saved As Text) files, which are Spatial (ACIS) geometry format

2016-09-15 Thread Marco Nawijn

Hi Dennis,

I doubt there will be a native Paraview/VTK reader voor SAT. If you want
a geometric representation of your CAD model in Paraview, for example
to create an overlay of your simulation data over the geometry, I think
your best bet is to create an STL file. I have had success with this when
overlaying finite element and digital image correlation data over a
CAD model in Paraview.

I am not aware of a free opensource CAD package that can read SAT.
FreeCAD (based on OpenCascade) cannot. OpenCascade does provide
a paid for extension that can read SAT files. Also, are you aware of
cadexchanger (http://cadexchanger.com)? Ofcourse the standard CAD
systems like SolidWorks, CATIA, SolidEdge etc. can do the conversion
too (you might need a separate license for this).

[Paraview] VTK Textbook and User's Guide now available for download

2016-09-15 Thread Will Schroeder

Kitware is releasing the VTK Textbook and VTK User's Guide for PDF
download. Follow the links below to a landing page where you can buy a
printed version, or download a PDF.

Longer term, the plan is to convert these books to LaTeX (from Framemaker)
and place the content into an open repository. The first step is to mostly
duplicate what exists now; eventually we have the ambitious goal to
completely rewrite / recombine / rethink the books. For example, using
VTK.js (under development now) to offer web interaction with examples etc.
We can certainly use the talents of the community to take this challenge
on, so if you are interested please let me know.

Re: [Paraview] Lock Data Range for multiple attributes

2016-09-15 Thread Mathieu Westphal

Hello Venke,

Sure, here is the process to set up the lookuptable correctly with the gui:
 - Open ParaView
 - Open your data
 - Color with the data you want to "lock"
 - Show the Color Map Editor ( Right Click on toolbar, Color Map Editor)
- Click on the cogwheel to show advanced options
- Click on the dot on the color line (below the graph) to remove all data
point except the minimum and maximum
- Click on the color line (below the graph) to add two datapoint
approximativally around the locked range you want to set
- Set the correct value for the data point you just added in the table
- Copy the RGB color of the minimum and maximum into your locked range

Done

A side effect is the scalar bar does not show the information you want, but
the color on the mesh are correct.
In Any case, the "Lock Data Range" option should work, but it doesn't, so
it looks like a bug to me.


Regards,


Mathieu Westphal

Re: [Paraview] Lock Data Range for multiple attributes

2016-09-15 Thread postgurke

Hello Mathieu

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I don't quite understand :(. I tried to
duplicate the first and last point of LUT.RGBPoints (which are initially correct
before I look at a different attribute and switch back) - but this does not do
the trick. Sorry, I am not used to reading from State-Files. Do you have a short
explanation what you did in either the Paraview python shell or GUI to achieve
this?

Cheers
Venke

Re: [Paraview] Lock Data Range for multiple attributes

2016-09-15 Thread postgurke

Hello

Does nobody have a solution for this, or am I missing something obvious? 
The only thing I can do to fix the color ranges is separate the file into
multiple objects, but as one can only look at one at a time anyways (as they are
at the same location, obviously) and our model already contains a lot of
objects, this is rather bothersome...

Cheers
Venke
