I am reading a binary TecPlot file in Python. I tried to use vtk.vtkTecplotReader
, but this crashes. Instead, I have shifted my approach to use paraview.simple.VisItTecplotBinaryReader
.
Ultimately I would like to use VTK filters on this data (for example, vtk.vtkMassProperties()
)
Is there any way to get from an instance of VisItTecplotBinaryReader
directly to a VTK data type such as vtkUnstructuredGrid
? Right now I am using paraview.simple.SaveData
to write the data to disk and then reloading it via vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader
. This is far from ideal.
from paraview.simple import *
import vtk
r = VisItTecplotBinaryReader(FileName=['data.plt'])
r.MeshStatus = ['Surface']
r.PointArrayStatus = []
SaveData('data.vtm', proxy=r)
r = vtk.vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader()
r.SetFileName('data/data.i_0_0.vtu')
r.Update()
geom = r.GetOutput()
