Thank you Nicolas! This is really great! I’m trying to test the example. However, I get an error.

I have already followed your instruction as follows:

1 - Build and Install Catalyst (https://catalyst-in-situ.readthedocs.io)

1.1 - Using CMake

  • mkdir <test_catalyst>

  • cd <test_catalyst>

  • mkdir libcatalyst

  • mkdir catalyst-build

  • git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/catalyst.git

  • cd catalyst-build

  • ccmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<test_catalyst>/libcatalyst <test_catalyst>/catalyst

  • ninja

  • ninja install

1.2 - Using Make

  • ?

2 - Download Paraview (https://www.paraview.org/download)

  • download paraview nightly from https://www.paraview.org/download.

  • mv <ParaView>.tar.gz <test_catalyst>

  • cd <test_catalyst>

  • mkdir paraview_latest

  • tar -xvf <ParaView>.tar.gz --directory <test_catalyst>/paraview_latest --strip-components 1

3 - Clone ParaView Repo (https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview)

  • cd <test_catalyst>

  • git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview.git

4 - Build Catalyst Example (CxxFullExample)

4.1 - Using CMake

  • cd <test_catalyst>/paraview/Examples/Catalyst2/CxxFullExample

  • cmake -Dcatalyst_DIR=<test_catalyst>/libcatalyst/lib/cmake/catalyst-2.0 <test_catalyst>/paraview/Examples/Catalyst2/CxxFullExample

  • make

4.2 - Using Make

  • ?

5 - Run Example (CxxFullExample)

  • export CATALYST_IMPLEMENTATION_PATHS="<test_catalyst>/paraview_latest/lib/catalyst"

  • export CATALYST_IMPLEMENTATION_NAME=paraview

  • cd <test_catalyst>/paraview/Examples/Catalyst2/CxxFullExample/

  • ./bin/CxxFullExampleV2 catalyst_pipeline.py

I get this error:
