Good morning,
I would like to apply superposition effect on two .vtk files,in order to visualize the resultant Von Mises stresses. The two files differs only on the presence of two additional components. If needed I can share the two files.
Thank you.
I use paraview for Windows. I opened the two .vtk files, then I visualize Von Mises stress. After that I should use a programmable filter, suggested on a previous topic, but it doesnât work.
Hi @Matteo ,
Ok, but what computation would you like to do ? How do you want to combine the files ?
Best,
I would like to merge the stress tensor components, in order to visualize the resultant stresses. I donât know if itâs correct.
This is a shot in the dark (because I think we are all still confused about what âmerge the stress tensor componentsâ means), but if you need to combine data from two .vtk files, perhaps the Append Attributes filter will do what you want. See this for more discussion: Difference between 2 Datasets
Basically, the OP is looking for something like this but one of his 2 data sets contains modified geometry/mesh: Results superposition
Exactly
If the meshes of the 2 datasets donât match, then you can use Resample with Dataset to map the field from one dataset to another dataset.
I tried, following this tutorial: ParaView map, resample, and combine different datasets [On Demand 3] - YouTube
But it didnât work
these are the two .vtk files, as you can see they differ from the bearings. I want to ââsumââ the von mises stresses for every single point(the components of the stress tensor, von mises stress is a scalar value) of the two different analysis, and visualize the result.
Can you elaborate on what happened and what went wrong? Were the results not as expected? What were the results? Did ParaView crash? Was there a rip in the space-time continuum? Did ParaView try to sell you an extended car warranty?
The description so far still sounds like combining the data with resampling. If we donât know what goes wrong and donât have the data there is not much we can do.
What I expected was to visualize at the same time the red internal ring (high stress value) of the first pic and the white portion around the upper hole (considerable stress value) of the second one (the pics are shown in the previous reply).
So, if it ran correctly, I would see ONE assembly with both remarkable values (I took them as an example, the stresses on every point should be the sum). It isnât what I get.
It would be a lot easier to help you if you could share your data.
I can think of a couple of ways you might be able to achieve this. One would be to combine the fields with Resample with Dataset as described before and then use the Calculator filter to find the maximum between the two von mises fields.
These are the .vtk files:
Yes, combining the fields of the two datasets into one and then taking the max seems to do the trick. (There were a few steps to first rename, then resample, and then append the fields.
Here is a state file of what I did:
max-von-mises.pvsm (1.1 MB)
As I can see from the pic,it is exactly what I wanted, thank you. I have a few question after opening the file, beacuse itâs the first time I face Paraview:
1- How are applied the different ââAppend attributesââ? I would like to know the steps, especially for the last one, and the difference with the other with an arrow;
2-As I can see, the calculator finds the max value for every point. But can be eventually summed A von mises and B von mises?
Thank you for your patience.
Here are the full steps of what I did:
PassArrays to both A and B inputs and remove all the arrays except for von Mises Stress. This is optional, but made things a little easier later.RenameArrays to both A and B pipelines to rename the fields to A von Mises Stress and B von Mises Stress, respectively. This makes it possible to differentiate the two arrays as we start combining the fields into one mesh.Resample With Dataset filter. Set the Source Data Arrays input to the A pipeline and the Destination Mesh to the B pipeline. I chose the B pipeline for the destination mesh because there are small parts of the A mesh outside of the B mesh, so the resample worked better to apply to the B mesh.Resample With Dataset now has A von Mises Stress on the B mesh. To get the B fields back, select both the ResampleWithDataset and the RenameArrays for the B pipeline in the pipeline browser and add the Append Attributes filter. This will combine both fields into a single mesh, which is the whole point of this exercise.Calculator filter to AppendAttributes. To get the max stress, set the expression to max("A von Mises Stress", "B von Mises Stress"). To get the sum, set the expression to "A von Mises Stress" + "B von Mises Stress".Hello, again. I am trying to sum every stress component. So, I started with the ââxx stressââ. I did the same steps you suggested, but it ends with an error:
test_1.pvsm (1.1 MB)
You have the Resample With Dataset filter attached to the wrong inputs. It should be attached to the Rename Arrays filters, but instead it is directly attached to the readers. Because of this, it is not getting the A_xx named array.
Here is a fixed state file:
test_1_fixed.pvsm (1.1 MB)
Thank you. I have a very last question. I would like to implement this equation on paraview:
where, for example, Ďyy is, the sum of the y-stresses of the two cases A&B, of the following save state:
SCRIPT_CORRECT_STRESS.pvsm (1010.4 KB)
Is there a better way than writing on calculator: sqrt(0.5*(((A_YY+B_YY)-(A_ZZ+B_ZZ))^2+⌠?
