PVAttributeMapping

AttributeMapping is a paraview plugin that transfers global attributes from a source mesh to a final mesh with same point/cell coordinates.

Input and output meshes can be vtkDataSet or vtkMultiBlockDataSet.

Warning

For one application of the plugin, the attributes to transfer should all be located on the same piece (all on points or all on cells).

Note

For cell, the coordinates of the points in the cell are compared. If one of the two meshes is a surface and the other a volume, all the points of the surface must be points of the volume.

To use it:

  • Load the module in Paraview: Tools>Manage Plugins…>Load new>PVAttributeMapping.

  • Select the mesh to transfer the global attributes (meshTo).

  • Select Filters > 4- Geos Utils > Attribute Mapping.

  • Select the source mesh with global attributes to transfer (meshFrom).

  • Select the on witch element (onPoints/onCells) the attributes to transfer are.

  • Select the global attributes to transfer from the source mesh to the final mesh.

  • Apply.

PVCreateConstantAttributePerRegion

PVCreateConstantAttributePerRegion is a Paraview plugin that allows to create an attribute with constant values per components for each chosen indexes of a reference/region attribute. If other region indexes exist, values are set to nan for float type, -1 for int type or 0 for uint type.

Input mesh is either vtkMultiBlockDataSet or vtkDataSet and the region attribute must have one component. The relation index/values is given by a dictionary. Its keys are the indexes and its items are the list of values for each component.

Warning

The input mesh should contain an attribute corresponding to the regions.

To use it:

  • Load the module in Paraview: Tools>Manage Plugins…>Load new>PVCreateConstantAttributePerRegion.

  • Select the mesh in which you want to create the attributes.

  • Select the filter Create Constant Attribute Per Region in filter|0- Geos Pre-processing.

  • Choose the region attribute, the relation index/values, the new attribute name, the type of the value, the number of components and their names.

  • Apply.

PVFillPartialArrays

Fill partial arrays of input mesh.

Input and output are vtkMultiBlockDataSet.

To use it:

  • Load the module in Paraview: Tools>Manage Plugins…>Load new>PVFillPartialArrays.

  • Select the input mesh.

  • Select the partial arrays to fill.

  • Set the filling value (defaults to nan).

  • Apply.

PVSplitMesh

Split each cell of input mesh to smaller cells.

Output mesh is of same type as input mesh. If input mesh is a composite mesh, the plugin split cells of each part independently.

To use it:

  • Load the module in Paraview: Tools>Manage Plugins…>Load new>PVSplitMesh.

  • Select the input mesh.

  • Apply the filter.

PVClipToMainFrame

Clip the input mesh to the main frame applying the correct LandmarkTransform

To use it:

  • Load the module in Paraview: Tools>Manage Plugins…>Load new>PVClipToMainFrame.

  • Apply.
