Visualizing initial setup

cute · May 19, 2016, 17:18

Hi,

I created a 3D mesh with some initial setup.

Mesh Dimension: 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.5 m^3
Initial data is setup at the center of the bottom part with height of 0.4

I used setFields witt BoxToCell to initialize my grid. When I visualize in paraview with wireframe, it only shows my initial data at the bottom plane (i.e. z=0). I also noticed that wireframe only display wires on surfaces but not internally. I thought that might be a problem.

I also tried to visualize with surface and still the result is same after setting opaque property to 0.3.

Could you please explain, what I am doing wrong? and How can I visualize my setup?

Thanks.

Did you try to put a slice trough your domain and have a look that way? Also, which objects did you select for your Mesh Region?

Thanks, I solved the problem by adding slice filter.
