Presently, a parent in the pipeline can only be deleted when all children have been deleted before. Suggestion to allow deletion of a parent with implicit deletion of all of its children (instead of throwing an error that parent cannot be deleted).

add the ASME Stress Linearization as a post processor tool

For comparison to original file it might be beneficial to have the original node and cell ID`s preserved (those values exist in the file) and read all the existing data and not just the mesh

When checking solver results or input files of type structured grid it is important to have the ability to view the node indices in the zone (i, j, k) an not just a running number (for instance in the spreadsheet view)

When using the offset option in slice filter to create a number of slices at a turn; filters like integrateVariables or pythonCalculator "mean" apply for all slices at once resulting in one value
--> enable to chose using the filters per slice tabulating it according to the offset variable

The Azore CFD package has an export to VTK for ParaView use, but ParaView does not have an import directly from Azore. Would be useful to connect the two more completely.

filter for a surface or plane calculates the mass flow rate over time steps and we can plot over time

The .fvuns format is commonly used for creating animations in FLUENT. The reason is that you can export selected planes/surfaces (even with dynamic mesh), meaning that you will have lower file than when exporting the entire data set. For long transient animations, this format is therefor highly useful.

Hi, I would like to extract the index of the points selected in the order I selected them. But when I choose extract selection and save the csv file, I get them ordered from small to big. Also I would like to save the point coordiantes and his normal when I choose slice. I see them in the box in the left, but there is no option to save them in a csv file. Thanks

I would like to do a slice but using a cone. Is there a way to extract information using different geometries?

It would be useful for simulations with moving meshes (mesh and geometry changes at each time step) to be able to define a probe with an initial location and then a defined displacement, so it would be possible to plot-over-time the properties of a specific point in the mesh that is in motion.

We can add Menu items or Macros with Custom Icons.

I'd like to suggest some solution for easy import files from SolidWorks. I tried to do it, but there is only wrl file theoretically compatible. In practice, my SW 2014 and ParaView 5.2 dosn't interact. There is an ERROR: In C:\bbd\df0abce0\source-paraview\VTK\Common\ExecutionModel\vtkDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx, line 710
vtkCompositeDataPipeline (00000204B4E93B60): Input port 0 of algorithm vtkAppendPolyData(00000204B5040810) has 0 connections but is not optional.

I would like to change animation time steps into data dates: I want to change time annotation into date annotation.

Now that OSPRay rendering seems to turn out really well, it would be really a plus if it could be added also the option to active material rendering (like metal, glass, plastic, etc.) on surfaces, instead of simple solid colors.

I can not read my Ansys Structural case data in ParaView. I think it would be a great idea post-process Ansys Structural in Paraview.

With paraview 5 the export to vector graphic formats most often results in a rasterized image (http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2016-February/036314.html). This is huge drawback of the new version. Please bring the old true svg, eps, pdf export back!
(Old uservoice entry for this: https://paraview.uservoice.com/forums/11350-general/suggestions/313565-add-vector-graphics-output-i-e-postscript)

It would be nice to export a set of images from timestep N1 to timestep N2 with a certain step DN (like each 3rd frame between timesteps 100 and 300).

It should be possible to launch the program with a pvsm file without being prompted to select an importer for this file format (which is not even listed).

Code Aster beam and shell element but In paraview we can't see the thickness and cross section of shell and beam element
