frd to vtu conversion issue with vtk module #42

I am facing this error after compiling the ccx2paraview in Ubuntu 22.04, python 3.9,

Error-------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/sjagalur1980/CalculiX/ccx2paraview-3.0.0/ccx2paraview/main.py", line 2, in import cli File "/home/sjagalur1980/CalculiX/ccx2paraview-3.0.0/ccx2paraview/cli.py", line 13, in from common import Converter File "/home/sjagalur1980/CalculiX/ccx2paraview-3.0.0/ccx2paraview/common.py", line 21, in import vtk File "/home/sjagalur1980/anaconda3/envs/sjrpy39/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vtk.py", line 47, in from vtkmodules.vtkRenderingMatplotlib import * ImportError: /home/sjagalur1980/anaconda3/envs/sjrpy39/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vtkmodules/libvtkPythonInterpreter-9.3.so: undefined symbol: Py_RunMain

Hi. From provided log I see that there is some problem between vtk library and python version you're using. Python 3.9 is quite old. Moreover I've never been using ccx2paraview with anaconda.

thanks for the input. I was able to use directly running the python from the ccx2paraview 3.0.0. But it creates many vtu files. Can we merge all vtu to one file somehow?

No, ccx2paraview does not provide such a possibility. See caution about it in the README: https://github.com/calculix/ccx2paraview?tab=readme-ov-file#calculix-to-paraview-converter-frd-to-vtkvtu """If you have 300 time steps in the FRD, there will be 300 Paraview files. If you need one file - write output only for one step in your CalculiX model."""
