Hello All,

I have an stl file that I meshed using blockMesh and Snappy. The result of the PolyMesh folder is 4.5 Gb. As usual, I tried to visualize the mesh in paraview, but it is taking really long time. Any tips or tricks to handle/visualize big data?

Regarding the hardware:
I am remotely accessing my school server. I have access to 30 cpu and 128 Gb of RAM. I am using Putty and Xming to access paraview to visualize the mesh.

Thank you!
