Elmer Discussion Forum

Hi,

in the new ElmerGUI that comes with Elmer 8.x, one can start ParaView directly for postprocessing (if the system Path points to the bin directory of the ParaView installation).
I have just tested it for the first time - it works fine if one has given a .vtu file as "Post file" name in the Simulation section (Model > Setup in ElmerGUI). It doesn't seem to work if I use ResultOutputSolver instead, e.g. to write a pvd time collection file (.pvd) so that ParaView sees the timesteps with their real value. I can open the .pvd manually in ParaView without problems.

Questions:
1) Is this supposed to work with ResultOutputSolver? If so, what did I do wrong?
2) Could there be a way to tell ElmerGUI to open ParaView with the file(s) written by ResultOutputSolver?

Thanks,

Matthias

Good day !

I think the idea to create code CGNSSaveSolver in Elmer may be productive to resolve the tasks of Post Processing. I have realized an experimental version in the case of one model of turbulent vortex flow. Here http://t-flow.ru/index.php?option=com_p ... 48&lang=ruare the output data of the numerical experiment with anisotropic model of turbulence. The file *.cgns file format may be viewed in postprocessor ParaView 4.1 x64 and in ANSYS 15.0 x64. The standard file of Elmer's output *.ep may be found here.

Best regars,
Serge.
