How to open multiple files created for multiple time steps at once in ParaView? #8

Closed prasadadhav closed 4 years ago

prasadadhav commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I am really glad I found this because I am new to CCX and CGX, but I have experience with ParaView. Also, I have some issues with visualizing results using cgx -v file_name.frd.

I was able to use it on one of my results. I opened the final time step(500th-time step) and confirm that the results I am seeing in ParaView. I read your warning about multiple files being created for each time step.

Is it possible to open all the files at once?

I don't know if I should open a new issue for this or not since I am a new user. Is it possible to see the deformed shape in ParaView?

In any matter, I am really glad I found this since this can at least work as a temporary fix for my problems until I figure out CGX.

Thank you @imirzov for ccx2paraview.

PS: Here are the results dispU_flap_500

displ_plot

Here,you can see the space which occupies the flap being deformed, but would be nice to see the first image deformed. Flap_FSI 0050

Dear Alphaoo1, Thank you for using this converter and for sharing your results!

The command "./ccx2paraview jobname.frd vtu" should produce additional file in XML format - the PVD file. Open it in Paraview to read data from all time steps (all VTU files) at ones.

To see deformed shape in Paraview use filter "Warp by vector".
