<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi David,<br>

<br>

thanks. What about saving it in to xdmf file format? Is it as simple as doing<br>

<br>

writer=CreateWrite("filename.xmf", Cone1)? <br>

<br>

or do I need a different writer class?<br>

<br>

thanks<br>

So, what is the python script command I need to save the data and how do I turn the python script from the Start Trace output into python script that I can run with pvbatch? Anything I need to strip off the output?<br>

</div>

<div>You don't need to strip anything off the output.</div>

<div><br>

</div>

To save results add:<br>

WriteImage("filename.png")<br>

To save the screenshot in png format<br>

<br>

And/Or add:<br>

<br>

writer= CreateWriter("filename.vtk", Cone1)<br>

writer.UpdatePipeline()<br>

<br>

to save the Cone1's data in vtk format</div>
