I have downloaded Paraview from this link (https://www.paraview.org/download/) and tried to use the angular filter. I use a MacBook with M3 (Apple Silicon) and macOS Sonoma 14.5.
My data comes from a simulation where I have a slice of a cone (3.6deg). To visualize the results I want to use the Angular Periodic Filter to have the whole cone (360deg). I usually do this on a desktop with Ubuntu. Unfortunately, Paraview gives a wrong visualization when I use this filter on my MacBook with macOS Sonoma 14.5.
I have downloaded and installed different Paraview installers from the websites, from v5.10 to v5.13 (the latest). All for Apple Silicon. I also tried v5.13 for Intel. I get the same result: I load the data, use the angular filter, and I can visualize the “Outline” but when I switch to “Surface” the visualization is totally wrong. See the attached figures, please.
Sure, data attached. I load the file “jcode.case” within the folder.
It does not crash. The visualization is wrong when I switch from Outline to Surface (edited the first message for clarity).
Also, I asked some colleagues to try on their MacBooks where they have their own data with different geometries, and they all get the same wrong visualization. It seems the problem does not depend on the dataset.
For clarity, I have v5.10 on my Ubuntu, I have “Compute Rotations on the Fly” checked, and it works correctly.
What is it exactly that “Compute Rotations on the Fly” does and what would be the impact of unchecking it? Thanks in advance.
Thanks @Christos_Tsolakis ! I just downloaded ParaView-5.13.1-MPI-OSX11.0-Python3.10-arm64.dmg, and tried to uncheck “Compute Rotations on the Fly” and now it works correctly (see attached figure). I also tried to install v5.10 Intel and that works too. Both tests were on the same MacBook with M3 (Apple Silicon) and Sonoma 14.5.
I only had time to test the visualization of the geometry. I guess it should work also for any other quantity to plot, since it seems a problem that does not depend on the dataset.
I current do not reproduce, can you share steps to reproduce and input dataset ?
I have “Compute Rotations on the Fly” checked, and it works correctly.
It is a memory optimisation techniques that actually do not create the geometries for display, but compute the location only when needed for each point.
