[Paraview]Ensight Gold file format -> multiple time steps & constant grid

[Michael Geppert]

Hi,
at the moment I'm trying to write data in the EnSight Gold format.

I want to write some scalar data (velocity, pressure..., multiple time steps) on a NOT changing grid. Is it possible to write the grid only once in the .geo file? If i try that, paraview instantly crashes. Theres no problem, writing the same grid n-times, wrapped in "BEGIN TIME STEP", "END TIME STEP" wrappers, but that of course uses a lot of disk space.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Michael,

I guess, you're missing something... Ensight Gold format does not need one
geometry file per time step. Have you seen the example Ensight files
supplied with the Paraview distribution? What about the Ensight's user
guide?

The structure of your case file should look like this:

FORMAT
type: ensight gold

GEOMETRY
model: dam_1.geo00

VARIABLE

scalar per node: pressure dam_1_pres_****.scl00
vector per node: velocity dam_1_velo_****.vec00

TIME
time set: 1
number of steps: 32
filename start number: 0
filename increment: 1
time values:
0.00000000
0.01000000
...
...

The geometry and results format you can follow the examples of the Ensight's
user guide. Moreover, I've put some Fortran routines that I use to write my
files available to download at
http://www.nacad.ufrj.br/~rnelias/paraview/EnsightRoutines.zip

I hope it helps you.
