I have never had the warning myself so am not sure about the real reason, but http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-16175 might as well be checked.

Just a simple question:

How can a visualize the cell- and face zones when turning "Read Zones" on? It does not seem to change anything in paraview when reading a decomposed case with this option turned on. Thanks.

Hello Bastian and Takuya

Just to say, thank you for the question (Bastian) and the answer (Takuya)!!!

I was facing this issue yesterday! So, nothing to answer now.

Again, thank you and Have a nice weekend

Thanks,

is there also a way to visualize sets in a decomposed case? I have a sHM-result where snappy created some sets. Convertig them into zones is impossible since it is distributed. Thanks.

Hello Takuya,

Today I checked out the svn version of the reader. I compiled it without problem.

The only issue I found is that there is not a Refresh button. This is a very helpful button!!!! Am I missing something when compiling the reader?

Pablo

Did you do a make install? If you did and there is no Refresh button, could you give me more details?

Hi Pablo,
The installation destination may not have been correct. I committed a fix so can you try svn update, rebuild and install?

Thank you!!!!

Hi Takuya,

I downloaded PV3.12.0 yesterday and compiled the reader (version 314) again.

I compiled PV alone, using openmpi from OpenFoam-1.6-ext only. The installation directory is /opt/ParaView/3.12.0.

When I tried to link the vtkPOFFReader with PV it can't detect the installation directory. I solved the problem setting it manually. (/opt/ParaView/3.12.0/lib/paraview-3.12/plugins).

The reader is working fine. I hope this can help.

Regards

Pablo

Hi Pablo,
You are right, the default installation location is for in-build-directory running of git master version of PV. Until I come up with a good solution (and have time to code that) you have to set the location manually.

Takuya,

I asked before about the reading of sets with this reader. So far this seems to be impossible, Would it be possible to add this in a future release? We have lots of (distributed) meshes with sets from sHM which we can not visualize at the moment. Thanks and regards.

Bastian

I am aware that it is a nice feature to be added but have no timeline for its implementation (I have lots of other priority tasks).

I've packed the latest version of vtkPOFFReader in a debian package for Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10. Just have a look here:

Hi Takuya,

Today I downloaded and compiled paraview 3.14.1. My OS is opensuse 11.4, and vtk 5.10 (recently updated)

I trying to compile the reader (svn version 314) and I'm getting some errors.

Have you tested the reader using these configurations?

Thanks in advance. If you need additional information do not hesitate to ask me.

Best

Pablo

I've compiled the plugins with PV 3.14.1 on OS X 10.6.8 and Ubuntu 10.04 (the server-side plugin only for the latter case though) and both built successfully.

Hi Takuya,

I updated the reader to version 316 this morning. Everything is working now.

Thank you!
