VTK postprocessor

Post by MrBenson »

Hello,

I use to write the sif file and lauch the computatation by hand. I'd like to plot the result of the ep file in the vtk post gui. Is there a way to use directly the ElmerGUI postprocessor (VTK) without executing ElmerGUI ? Does anyone have compiled it separetely ?

Best regards.

Hi,

I don't know if you can use the postprocessor without ElmerGUI, but as an alternative, you can use ParaView for postprocessing. To do that, use ResultoutputSolver to write out vtu files, or simply change the extension of the Post File to vtu in the Simulation section of your sif.

HTH,

Matthias
