Hello,<br><br>I am trying to find a way to subdivide a structural analysis model in several parts in such a way that I can post-process the results in Paraview. The primary objective for me is to be able to hide and show different parts of the structure. The model itself is not too large (say 50.000 cells). A bonus for me would be that I can assign a different color (or different properties in general) to each of the parts.<br>
<br>I have tried a few things with Paraview:<br> 1. Create a set of individual .VTU files and combine them in a .PVD file. This works very nice for building result sequences of the complete model.<br> 2. Create a set of individual .VTU files and combine them in a .PVM file. This works in the sense that I can import a complete model build up from several pieces, but I cannot assign colors to each of the parts and are unable to hide and show individual parts (tried by using the "extract datasets" filter).<br>
3. Create a XDMF XML file with 2 GRID elements in a single domain. This again allows me to import the model and show hide individual parts. I can still assign only 1 color to the complete model.<br><br>Is subdivision into multiple showable/hideable parts, including individual color assignment, possible with either XDMF or VTK XML files? <br>
If so, can someone post a minimal example?<br><br>Kind regards,<br><br>Marco<br><br><br><br>
