Manythanks for your prompt reply, downloaded and installed it and all seemed to complete without error, however when I came to run it I got a VCOMP140.DLL is missing error message. From searching Google it seems it is a system error and I will have to get some assistance tomorrow to fix it. I am in Adelaide South Australia so it will have to wait for tomorrow. But thanks for your assistance.

Thanks to all of you guys, now up and running.

Had used VTK since early 2000s doing visualisations of the sea bed for a Hydrographic firm but in a linux environment. Find windows an awfull environment.

You guys are a credit to the open source community

shrinking the ParaView UI nicely to about 80% of the original size. That value works best for me, btw.

There is even another per-screen environment setting QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS that allows to tune scaling for every screen individually. This also works with ParaView 5.9.

PS: Using QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS or QT_SCALE_FACTOR seems to generate some artefacts at fonts and icons. Pixel-level scaling post original render???

Using the two env variables listed above seems to avoid this. And once icon size is fixed, fonts can be readjusted with the paraview setting to override UI font size (instad of system default)

Thanks for your reply.

I have a second PC with windows7 and Nvidia GeForce GT620M where I use (for a couple of weeks now) Paraview to post-process results of OpenFOAM and DualSphysics simulations.

I use 2 versions of paraview which work fine. One under BlueCFD (linux like environement) and the second is under windows. In this win7 machine, all V5 paraview versions are working well.

I am using paraview to create animation video of two different views of my mesh. I want show all the times steps side by side in two different views at the same time in a single video output.

This snap shot below will give an idea of what I want

I am highly interested on using the Parallel processing in paraview. But I have no idea how to implement it. I read that the following variables should be set: PARAVIEW_USE_MPI = ON. The problem is that I have installed paraview from Ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt-get install paraview . So, first question is, is the paraview package version able to handle parallel processing?

In case that the package version is not able to handle parallel processing, I must download ParaView Source Code. Some time ago I faced a lot of problems trying to install this type of paraview version. So, if you do not mind, I please you to assist me to install it, since the wiki ( :Build_And_Install) is quite short for me. I mean, indicate me the steps required to manage a good installation process: how to install Qt5, the required libraries, etc.

after about a minute (as opposed to maybe 10 seconds with it turned off), it opens. I then load my data (I cannot share my data) and when I hit visualize (i.e. click the eyeball), without MPI it takes maybe 20-30 seconds to load. With MPI, it just hangs and never loads.

Are there instructions for distributing data within the ParaView GUI? e.g. It is an easy task for me to, for example, perform the same OpenCV Gaussian blurring filter in Python across thousands of images in parallel by distributing the images across multiple cores. However, MPI is not a prerequisite to do this (i.e. I do not have to install MSMPI to utilize the Python multiprocessing and threading libraries). How can I acheive the same results via ParaView in the GUI and why is MPI necessary?

In this course we will be using tools based on a very large software library called the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). ParaView is an application that allows users to graphically load data sets and visualize them with a commonly used subset of VTK components. VolView is another program that provides a simple interface to VTK's 3D scalar field (volume) visualization components. Each student may find one tool more useful than another for a given task. Download and install ParaView for WindowsThe ParaView web page at www.paraview.org is a portal to all sorts of information about ParaView, which is a 3D viewing program that is built on top of VTK. Don't let the Para in the name (which stands for parallel) throw you: it works just fine on single-processor machines. Click on the Resources -> Download link on the toolbar at the top of the page and then select v4.1 (release candidates) from the Version of ParaView pull-down. Pick the one for release candidate 2 that matches your architecture and download it.

Save the file in your favorite folder. Open that folder and run the executable to install ParaView, using the default options for installation. The installer will create a new ParaView entry in your Start/All Programs menu.

Run the ParaView application from the Start/All Programs/ParaView 4.1.0-RC2 entry (Windows). Click the left mouse button in the large gray interaction region and drag the mouse, which will tumble the set of red, green, and yellow axes. The right mouse button will zoom in and out, and the middle one will translate the axes. A second set of axes (red, green, and blue) tumble in the corner; they are labeled with X, Y, and Z to indicate the orientation of the object you are viewing.

Go to the ParaView tutorial and follow along. It will be easiest to follow if you quit and restart ParaView. Remember to look on the Properties tab for instructions that are listed on the Display tab.

Go to the product website at www.volview.org. Click on the link in the Download button. Select the link to download the version for your platform. Also download the User's Guide (by right-clicking on the link and selecting 'Save link target as'.

This will create a new VolView3.4 entry in your Start/All Programs menu. The first time you run the program it may ask you to register in one of two modes. Select the choice to Get or extend a trial license. You will need to put in an email address to get the license (even thought it says that you do not have to). If you do not want to use yours, try volview_...@gracehollow.com.

Start VolView from the Start/All Programs/VolView3.4 menu. Open the IronProtein.vtk data set, which you get by downloading this ZIP file.. A dialog box will open asking about units, but you can safely ignore this and click Next several times and then Finish. You will see one window containing a (colorful) direct volume rendering of the iron protein data set as well as a number of other windows showing slices of the data at different orientations. You can left-click and drag on the volume window to rotate the data.

I installed the latest nightly build (v4.9.0, built on 05/02) on my desktop and when I opened it, it disappeared after just showing a loading screen. I tried a dozen of times, and only for one time it launched, but the interface looks something like below:

aaa1307819 26.2 KB

The picture above comes from another earlier nightly build but also suffered from the same problem. You can vaguely see the interface but it looks like for some reason it becomes transparent. I have stable 4.8.1 version installed and it works fine. I tried to install the same nightly build on my older laptop, which also has 4.8.1 version installed, and that nightly build seems to work just fine. The specifications of my desktop are: i7-6700k+gtx1080+windows10 64 bit. Any ideas on how to solve this is greatly appreciated!

Thank you Iassoan for such a quick reply! Yes I am using the latest driver version (v391.35 in Geforce Experience software, v24.21.13.9731 in device manager). I can only find Slicer.ini but not Slicer-NNN.ini file and removing the Slicer.ini file does not help. I also tried installing Paraview v5.5 and it also fails to launch, throwing an OpenGL driver error. The complete error message is as follows:

The ALCF is committed to providing training and outreach opportunities that prepare researchers to efficiently use its leadership computing systems, while also cultivating a diverse and skilled HPC workforce for the future.

The recommended way of running ParaView on Polaris is in client/server mode. This consists of running the ParaView client on your local resource, and the ParaView server on the Polaris compute nodes. The ParaView client needs to first be installed on your local resource, and needs to match the version that you run on Polaris.

There are multiple versions of ParaView installed on Polaris. To find the versions of ParaView currently available on Polaris run the following command on a login node:module use /soft/modulefilesmodule avail paraview

First, launch the ParaView client on your local resource. You will need to configure some server settings in the client. This initial set up should only need to be done once, and can be reused each time you want to run ParaView on Polaris.

The first time you want to run a server on Polaris and have it connect to your local ParaView client, you will need to set up a Server. Once this server is set up, you can reuse it each time you run the ParaView client with the ParaView server on Polaris.

Kitware, the developers of ParaView, maintain a database of server configurations which you can retrieve through the ParaView client. In the File->Connect menu press the button named "Fetch Servers" and select POLARIS@ANL. Windows users should select "windows to POLARIS@ANL". Press "Import Selected"

ParaView version: the version of Paraview that you want to use. Verify first that this version is installed on the system (as described at the top of this document). You will also need to add a -EGL suffix.
