How to view the result of static electric field

Post by sunyuan »

Dear experts

I calculated a static field map of several wires and got the ".vtu" file. Then I tried to view the field on Paraview, but all I got is the geometry, how can I also view the field?
I attach my .geo file and .sif file here.
mesh flow:
$gmsh prototype.geo -3 -o prototype.msh
$ElmerGrid 14 2 prototype.msh -autoclean

Hello,

Chapter 5 in GetStartedElmer.pdf shows basic usage of Paraview with Elmer.

After clicking on 'Apply', look for the box 'Coloring'. Click on 'Solid Color' in the box and it should show a drop box with the variables listed. Select the variable of interest, it should show up on the layout window.

Rich.
