How to write AMR grid in Catalyst-5.6

In Situ Support
1

Hi,

I asked this a week ago, but did not get any feedback. Let me try to clarify my question. I build CatalystExamples. Running “CxxNonOverlappingAMRExample feslicescript.py” works as expected, I get slice_#.vtm files.

But how to write the grid? Using SampleScripts/gridwriter.py fails with “AttributeError: ‘PVModule’ object has no attribute’‘XMLHierarchicalBoxDataWriter’”. I have the same issue with CxxOverlappingAMRExample, slice works, grid does not.

I work with Catalyst-v5.6.0-Base-Enable-Python-Essentials-Extras-Rendering-Base on Linux x86_64.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ted

Thanks guys!

Hi Tim and Alan.

In your copy of gridwriter.py, please try and substitute XMLUniformGridAMRWriter for XMLHierarchicalBoxDataWriter.

@Alan please file a bug report and assign it to me.

No difference:

  AttributeError: 'PVModule' object has no attribute

‘XMLUniformGridAMRWriter’

Thanks,

Ted

My next idea is that these particular writers are scrubbed away and not available in the catalyst editions. This appears to be done by the files Extras/manifest.json which selects a subset of the readers and writers in the VTK/IO/XML directory to make available.

When I use gridwriter with either overlapping or nonoverlapping example against a full paraview build, gridwriter finds the original XMLHierarchicalBoxDataWriter just fine.

You should either use a full paraview build as the catalyst library to link against, or extend your edition via that manifest file to include the writer.

Hi Dave,

  I have a clean build of Paraview. When trying to build the

examples, I get error (attached): 'Found paraview-config.cmake, but ParaView is considered to
be NOT FOUND", and ‘Could not find
vtkPVPythonCatalyst’.

vtkPVPythonCatalyst files are available
under lib64:

./lib64/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/modules/vtkPVPythonCatalyst.py

./lib64/python2.7/site-packages/paraview/modules/vtkPVPythonCatalystPython.so

    ./lib64/vtk/hierarchy/ParaView/vtkPVPythonCatalyst-hierarchy.txt

    ./include/paraview-5.6/vtkPVPythonCatalystModule.h

  I haven't work with the full build of Paraview before. What do I

miss?

Thanks,

Ted

Hi Dave,

I set ParaView_DIR to my build directory, but still get 'Found paraview-config.cmake,
but ParaView is considered to be NOT FOUND. Next, I did
a fresh clone from gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview.git
(c5c6c48237276), - same error.

In my humble opinion, find_package(ParaView) fails,
because it looks for UseParaView.cmake, but there is no file
matching UseParaView* in the paraview trunk.

Next, I try to add XMLUniformGridAMRWriter
in Extras/manifest.json (XMLHierarchicalBoxDataWriter
is already included). As a first step I made a copy of Base as
myBase, and run catalyze.py:

    [ews00734@Catalyst $] python catalyze.py  -r

/ascldap/users/tesari/projects/paraview -i Editions/myBase -o

    Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
