Difference between Find Data MaxValue of TemporalStatistics results and Find Data nearest the identified point

ParaView Support
1

Hello,

I’m using and old ParaView 5.6.0 64-bit on Linux Workstation to analyze CFD vtp unsteady results files. The concern is to find the maximum local value inside these hundreds of files.

My problem is that I obtain 2 different results with 2 different methods :

(1) Temporal Statistics Filter over the vtp files database to obtain maximum values at each mesh points + Find Data Point where the value is maximum = Maximum1 at (X1, Y1, Z1)

(2) Find data Function : Type Query from points near (X1, Y1, Z1) from vtp files database + PlotSelectionOverTime = Maximum2 at “near” (X1, Y1, Z1) with 0.001 precision

The two results Maximum1 and Maximum2 are slightly different : +/-25%.

Why ? and Which ParaView method is the good one ?

Sorry for my very poor English. Any help woul be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Sorry, these results must remain confidential and cannot be shared. But, I agree with you and I’m going to try an updated, while still old, ParaView version on another workstation. Unfortunatly, I can’t either install newer ParaView version on my company network. Thank you for your answer. I will keep in touch as soon as I’ll have new informations.

No problem, you could try reproducing with a non confidential dataset in order to share it here.
