I have two set time series data (pvd files). I open those files with paraview. One set is OK; I can open it and click the “play” button. However, the other set is not OK, I can open it but the first file (#0) only, I see the number of total the vtu files (> 0), but when I click the “play” or “next” button, paraview down and I get this message in terminal:
If you open each file individually, you can see the name of the array is different. They need to be the same. You can fix that using the Calculator filter.
Thank you, I understand now, I’ve opened the vtu file and I find the correct set has uniform array name: Name=“f_12”, but the crash set has different name. I check the first 3 files, I get: Name=“f_22”, Name=“f_40”, and Name=“f_58”.
I correct them manually using text editor, now the crash set works fine. Thank you, I know now what makes Paraview down. But, now I have another question regarding the calculator.
Before using text editor, I try to edit the array name using calculator as you suggested. I apply the pvd file, then I click the calculator, I call Result Array Name: Result and choose f_22 on Scalars. Then, I choose coloring with Result (not f_22), see figure C-1.png.
However, the Paraview down again after I click next frame. I guess, the next figure still have the old array name, f_something, doesn’t change to “Result” yet. How to make calculator change all array names automatically?
