Summary0015275: Calculator filter grants forbidden calculation and do not prevent errors
DescriptionWhen using the calculator filter in ParaView, it has been noticed 2 issues :

- forbidden calculations as /0, sqrt(negative number), ln(0)... return 0 value as a result which is not intuitive;

- if we fill in a wrong formula, for instance cossin(my_field) or my_field**2, there is no warning or error message display. The "Result" field is simply not available which is, once more, not really intuitive.

Hello,

Indeed for calculations like /0, sqrt(negative number), ln(0)... the filter returns 0 by default. But it can return another value thanks to the option "Replacement value", or display a warning if the option "Replace Invalid Results" is unchecked. These options are just below the buttons.

The wrong formulas already display a warning.

And for both cases, the new array generated has the suffix "(?)" to show that there was a problem.

Feel free to tell me if I missed something.
