Paraview on windows 7, forced scaling of data
Hello,
I 'm in serious trouble with Paraview. Everything was fine but suddenly when I tryied to load a cfd simulation, in vtk format, it displayed all the fields (except for the velocity field) in a [0,1] scale. This happened once, and everytime I try to load other vtk's with the same fields, it does the same thing. I cheked the "information" tab in the object inspector, where it shows that all fields have been loaded successfully, each of them in the correct corresponding data range. But when I visualise the fields in the display tab, then it doesn't show them in this data range. My system is Windows 7 64 bit so the only way to import the simulations is .vtk files. Does anybody have a remark?? |
Greetings Mike,
Which version of ParaView are you using? If it's 3.8.0 or 3.8.1, this might be due to a certain bug. To get past this, read this post (and its thread): paraview 3.8 auto rescale doesn't work #6 - in a nutshell, try running paraview with the argument "-dr": Code:
paraview -dr I want you to focus on this paragraph: Quote:

Hi Bruno,
I'm using the version 3.10.1 (64-bit) and I always select "Rescale to data range", after I choose a field, and nothing happens. It is strange beacause Paraview opens the vtk file and sets the correct data ranges for each field but is unable to display the correct values. It only sets for every cell the same value so my whole field is shown red, with red corresponding in value=1. I have no explanation of why this is happening and it's getting frustrating in the end :( I have also tried to uninstall Paraview and reinstall it, but nothing changed :( |
Hi Mike,
Mmm... OK, two additional solutions that might work:

Thanks for the remark Bruno!
Well, I created the empty file and I opened it in Paraview but it is empty, it doesn't load any fields nor the mesh! How can I put the data into this empty file? Thank you! |
Hi Mike,
The "case.foam" file should remain empty and should be placed in the same folder where you have the case; it should look something like this: Code:

Hi Mike,
I had problems (scale blocked between 0 and 1 - rescale do not work) with ParaView 3.6. I solved my problem by removing the directory ~/.config/ParaView Hope it could help. Stephane. |
Hi Stephane!
@Mike: the respective path in Windows 7 for the folder that Stephane mentioned is this: Code:
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\ParaView Bruno |
Hi Stephane and Bruno!
Thank you so much for your help, both!! I removed the folder C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\ParaView and now it works perfectly again! Maybe there was some kind of conflict in the file inside that folder, so removing it made Paraview to build it again, but correct this time! Again, thank you very much for your help! Best regards, Mike |
