Re: [Getfem-users] binary VTKs

[Andriy Andreykiv]

Dear Konstantinos,

It's nice to hear that it works on Linux. I tried it only on Windows. Recently I tried the latest Paraview 5.4 as well as earlier one, 4.0. The same result.

I guess it's some kind of system problem related to, may be, the size of floats that Windows writes. Will keep investigating.

Best regards,

Hi all,

I use almost exclusively binary vtk for everything that I export from GetFEM. I have experienced no issues with that on Linux with Paraview up to version 5. Do you experience problems on both Windows and Linux?

In addition to that I use the attached script to convert the binary vtk to compressed vtu files which saves some extra space.

Dear Andriy, dear all,

I'm trying to write binary VTK files with Getfem. Unfortunately the latest ParaView cannot read them.

It doesn't issue an error, just the result is rubbish.  I was carefully looking at all those issues with big endian,

needed for binary VTK, Getfem seems to be doing the right job (if you look at the source), but no success.

Did anybody succeed in reading binary VTK's produced with Getfem into ParaView?

No, but I had the same problem as you ! And I am as well interested if someone has some clues.

Thank you,

Best regards,
