Hello, I am trying to perform what I call a “parameter study” or “parameter sweep” for a model I’m studying.
I am aware of parameter studies with comparative views but that is somehow orthogonal to what I want to do in that there I have a single input file and I can apply a filter with several different values for its settings to see how the output of the filter changes, whereas in my case I have a number of output files called u_03_10.bp, u_03_12.bp, u_05_10.bp, etcetera, where the two numbers in the file name indicate two parameters that I set in my code when running a simulation, so what I would like to do is still to build a matrix-like visualization but where I show the different files and optionally the same filter but applied to different inputs.
I tried tricking paraview by grouping all datasets and then applying an ExtractBlock filter which I hoped to be able to edit in the Comparative view inspector but, when I try, I can set an “Assembly” or a “Selector” per view but they are set to zero by default, setting other numbers leads to crashes and I don’t know what to put in there.
Any ideas on how to do what I’m trying to do would be highly appreciated!
I see different ways but I think Copy/Pasting pipeline or python macros should be the easiest way.
If you want to scale it up, then a python script and pvbatch.
