I am trying to visualize a data set with 500,000 vertices using pv 3.4.0
without success.
1-step 1: I start the server with this script
--------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#PBS -N "Paraview_32"
#PBS -l "nodes=16:nef:ppn=2"
#PBS -l "walltime=4:00:00"
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
server=`hostname`
ulimit -s unlimited
echo "The server is listening on host $server "
#/usr/local/bin/mpiexec2 /usr/local/paraview/bin/pvserver
--use-offscreen-rendering
mpiexec --comm=mpich2 /home/install/paraview-340/bin/pvserver
--use-offscreen-rendering
step 2: I identify which processor is listening on host
---------------------------------------------------------------
step 3: I open pv 3.4.0 on the client, enter the server name and host
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The files are read correctly on the client and the outline of the mesh
can be seen on the client screen. When I try to visualize a solution
field (points, wireframe, surface) I get the following error.
ERROR: In /tmp/ParaView-3.4.0/Servers/Common/vtkServerConnection.cxx,
line 67
vtkServerConnection (0x5df84f0): Server Connection Closed!
step 4: when I do on the server
------------------------------------------
ls -al /tmp/ParaView-3.4.0/Servers/Common/vtkServerConnection.cxx
I get
cannot access
/tmp/ParaView-3.4.0/Servers/Common/vtkServerConnection.cxx: No such file
or directory
step 5: If I copy all the vtu,...etc files to the client and open pv
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4.0, we can visualize the same data with no
problems (the paraview server on the server is not used).
Can anyone help resolved the problem. I can send all the files to anyone
who will help resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Stephen
p.s.
The above works correctly with a small mesh (43,000 vertices) using
8-procs. The above was with a mesh (500,000 vertices)using 32-processors.
