Sebastien:<div><br></div><div>Good question: </div><div><br></div><div>My goal is to have a script which smooths results between simulation steps (fortran codes). </div><div><br></div><div>I use paraview to view results, and the smoothing filter in paraview seems to do what I want. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I want to start with a Trace-generated python script, and edit it to write the vertices and element </div><div>info to a file (.ply would be nice) that the next code can read.</div><div><br></div><div>

<div>(I also spent a day trying to get/install other versions. That was not very successful.)</div><div><br></div><div>Now if I import the trace generated py file, it pops up (and stays). Not a very good image, but it is </div>
<div>a start!</div><div><br></div><div>Being new to python and paraview, this is quite a step.</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions as to how to write vertex/node info would be appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div><br>
