<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I trying to understand is it reasonable to use ParaView in desktop mode (without distributed server) to visualize CFX-data (converted to EnSight format) with size ~3Gb? <br></div>
<div>
<br></div><div>How to solve such task if I need to visualize such large data array? Should I point CFD-people to simplify their model for visualization purpose or should I use distributed server ParaView mode?
