how assign dataset in python calculator?
 

for making a field for cells like aspect(dataset) in python calculator, whats dataset and how to set it?

Hi Ehsan,

It took me a while to figure this one out. I ended up figuring it out after I followed this tutorial: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaVie...tiple_Datasets

In conclusion, the "dataset" is "inputs[0]".

Best regards,

Hi Bruno,
thanks for your consideration,
but the image doesn't show aspect ratios or area of cells.

It only works on surfaces, as shown in the attached picture.

And it barely works on tetrahedral cells, because it can calculate on some cells, but not on others.

thanks,then at first a plane have to be be separated by slice Filter? the cells are hexahedral.

Quick answer: Try the filters that extract faces and surfaces. I can't remember right now which ones they are.

All I know is that the slice filter will likely create triangles that don't exist in the original mesh.

Hi Bruno,
in the attachment the image is somewhat dark,how to resolve the shading?

You have to play with the light controls, which are accessible from the menu: Edit -> View Settings. The controls are shown in the attached image.

Try changing the values and hit the "Apply" button to see the result, without closing the dialogue box.

dear Bruno it seems its related to Slice selection that is dark still,I changed light parameters but it didn't become brighter.how can exit it from selection mode?

Hi Ehsan,

Without an example case and step-by-step instructions, I'm unable to reproduce the same problem.

Do you mean that it's the selection plane that the Slice widget provides, that is making it darker? There's an option on the "Display" tab on the lower left widget, that allows to not show the slice selection place.

Best regards,
Bruno

yes,
do you mention "selectable"? I unchecked it without any effect.:(

From your description, only the "Show Plane" option seems to fit the description, as shown in attachment. Look for the mouse pointer in the "Properties" tab.

Bruno still its grey:(
which files I send so that could have a look in paraview?thanks.

I saved it on x-axis line as vtk.

I think you're confusing the threads... this thread is about the problem with seeing the aspect or area in 2D or 3D.

Bruno you said me to save a VTK file,but its not possible without "plot over line",there isn't any VTK format if I want to use only "save data" :confused:

I forgot about the detail that the internal reader uses multi-block structures...
Apply the filter "Merge Blocks" to the "WR_inviscid.foam"; then with "MergeBlocks1" selected, save data to VTK.

I did it.bz2 has 3MB volume and I'll mail it(maybe takes long)

I won't be able to look at it today. Send it to me only tomorrow, when you have a better internet connection.
