Replace conversion tool with ccx2paraview #125

Open fsimonis opened 5 months ago

The frdConverter has a couple of downsides:

My suggestion is to replace it with ccx2paraview as it is easy to install, use, and produces .pdv files.

I am currently trying to get it to a state where installing it is as easy as pipx install ccx2paraview. https://github.com/calculix/ccx2paraview/pull/35

This would simplify the CalculiX repo, its documentation, post-processing in the tutorials, and the VM.

"pip install ccx2paraview" already works. You have do nothing. Just use my tool in your code. See how: https://github.com/calculix/ccx2paraview#for-developers
