Hello dear paraview users,
i was wondering if it is possible to transfer or interpolate a scalar data from a Mesh A to a different Mesh B?
Knowing that Mesh A and B have the same geometry… but different meshgrid!
My data is stored in data.vtu (i got it from a Elmer FEA software. My scalar is the temperature for example ). My meshed were made with GMSG and these are called MeshA.msh and MeshB.msh.
I hope that my question is clear? and that there is a solution under Paraview 😉
Cheers

Hi Sebastien,
You’ll have to use the Programmable Filter
Here is a ParaView state file that transfers the Normals from a cube looking superquadric to a sphere looking superquadric.

For your case, since you want to potentially interpolate values from a mesh to another, you can use **Resample With DataSet** filter. The filter allows you to choose the dataset providing the **Source Data Arrays** and the other providing the **Destination Mesh**.

Thank you very much for your solution… i’m gonna test it as soon as possible.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I noticed this option “resample with data set” but did not really understood how to use it and i did not find any tutos or example so far!
i will investigate it surely. I m not a paraview expert, i only use it to visualize data and export some data but i never used the filter capabilities!
Cheers
Sebastien

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been trying to append a small part of dataset B to dataset A, trying to make dataset A’s mesh the same as B’s, but it never worked. Resample With Dataset solved this for me.
