I have run a large deformation finite element simulation with two output files, “displacement.pvd” and “stress.pvd”. In paraview, it is very clear how to import the displacement file and plot the deformed configuration of the mesh with the “warp by” button. However, I have not been able to figure ou…

fantastic-- that works perfectly. Thanks for your time.

What is the name of the displacement field? Is that name available in the Color By popup menu? [image] That would be the usual route for coloring a surface by a particular data array.

the displacement field is available in the “color by” popup menu, but the stress field is not. Is there a naming convention or something like that to get the stress field to show up? Thanks so much!

I’m going to venture a guess that the stress field is defined in the “stress.pvd” file. Assuming they have the same mesh type and topology, you can combine the data arrays in the data object produced by “displacement.pvd” and “stress.pvd”. Select both sources in the Pipeline Browser (use control-lef…
