Hello everyone,
I am running simulations in a remote supercomputing cluster ubuntu terminal and the results of the simulations are binary plot files that I need to copy every time to my local paraview destination. This takes a lot of time and depends largely on the speed of the internet connection I have. I would like to know if paraview supports remote visualization i.e. read files directly from the cluster on which I am running so that I can by pass this step.
PS: I have tried setting up a pvserver with no results. Any help on this will be appreciated.
