Plot all Facetvariables

[rwendner]

Is there are way to plot all Facetvariables with one command similar to ttl PRTC { StateVariables } just at the facets instead of the tets ?

In general it would be helpful if the input commands for the paraview plots would give a clear indication of how and what data is plotted.
The fact that the Statevariables of the facets are plotted at the tets (with the command Statevariables) and you need a different command to get them at the facets is not really straight forward.

I suggest making it consistent with the geometry by using just StateVariable to get the plot at the facets and having the additional keyword Solid to get the plot at the tets.

It is also "special" that the keyword FacetVariable MUST be placed in a new line.
ttl PRTC {
FacetVariable "NormalModulus"
}

I suggest modifying the plotcommand as follows

ttl PRTC {
PlotAtFacet // altnative 'PlotAsTet'
StateVariable { All, 'SVlabel' }
}

The same switch between representation as Solid Tets and Facets would be helpful for the
FacetDataPlot {
FileName ./Paraview/FieldsAtFacet
RealTimeInterval 1 hours
Fields { All } // { FieldLabel1 FieldLabel2 }
}
FacetDataPlot {
FileName ./Paraview/StrainsAtFacet
RealTimeInterval 1 hours
Strains { All } // { StrainLabel1 StrainLabel2 }
StrainIncrements { All } // { StrainIncrLabel1 StrainIncLabel2 }
}

Duly noted.

Is there any update about the ability to plot ALL facetvariables instead of just single ones ?
I know that you can plot them as "solids" with

Code: Select all

ttL `ListName' { StateVariables }

I still think stand with my earlier comment and suggestion.
However, a quickfix could be introducing a new keyword

Code: Select all

ttL Block {
FacetVariables
}

or simply

ttL Block {
FacetVariable ALL
}

like in other plot commands

The commands are updated in 2016.10.10, please see Manual for details.
