[Paraview] periodic data in ParaView

[Timm Krüger]

Hello,

I have two vtk files, one containing scalar and vector data on a
rectilinear grid and one for a polygonal mesh (points and cells defining
a closed, triangulated surface). Now I want to color the cells with the
fluid properties. This is possible with the filter "resample with dataset".
However, some of the points are located outside the range of the
rectilinear grid. In my computer simulation, the grid is periodic, i.e.
the fluid properties repeat periodically, and I only save one elementary
cell to the disk. ParaView doesn't know that and assumes that the fluid
properties are zero, whenever I am not inside the elementary cell.
Except for changing the vtk file for the fluid properties, is there any
way to tell ParaView that it should use a periodic representation of the
data?

Thanks,
Timm
