hello,
I'm solving a 10 degrees sector with periodic boundary conditions. I need to view the solution in the entire 360 degrees. Any help about periodic viewing in paraview inducing linear and rotational periodics.

Thanks in advance

Hi mohamed,

Unfortunately, there is no native filter which can do this for you. However, you can play with transform filter. Here is a example script how to build the full 360 view from 10 degrees sectors (axis in z-direction) with Python Shell:

source = GetActiveSource()
t = transforms = []
for i in range(0,360,10):
   t=Transform(source)
   t.Transform.Rotate = [0,0,i]
   transforms.append(t)
group = GroupDatasets()
group.Input = transforms

Now the GroupDatasets filter contains the full 360 degrees. Note that this is not memory efficient and the streamlines will not pass the boundaries.

Thank you Mikko .. how can i load the source?

After the first line of my script the source points to your active source in Paraview which should be the 10 degrees sector that you have opened before.

For completeness, here are all the steps:
1. Open the file with 10 degrees sector
2. Open the Python Shell inside Paraview (Tools->Python Shell)
3. Copy-Paste the script in my previous message to the shell

Now the last filter in your Pipeline Browser (GroupDatasets) should have the full 360 degrees.

The latest ParaView 4.4 supports this, look at http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/906.

thank you .. it opened a window for browsing for a python script?!
