  1. A conversion program/reader for .frd format file generated by CALCULIX

    There is an open-source (also free) finite element software called CALCULIX which uses similar (almost identical) input-deck as ABAQUS FE code. In fact, many ABAQUS input decks can be directly submitted as it is to CALCULIX without any changes. The webpage and download link for this software is as follows:

    http://www.dhondt.de/

    CALCULIX output files come with an extension .frd. It can only be read in a pre/post-processor called cgx which also open-source code, and can be downloaded from the aforementioned webpage. More recently, I have been told that the proprietary software GID (http://www.gidhome.com/) managed to build a reader…

  3. Add ability to include 2D plots in a 3D viewer

    This would be neat to have a single 3D view including the visualized 3D model and associated post-processings as well as a corresponding 2D plot (for example evolution of a plotted variable along a line).

    This was the original way we had implemented the 2D plots. Over time that has changed based on customer requirements and implementation details. Unless there’s a very very strong support from the community as well as the customers of ParaView, it’s highly unlikely that this will be supported any time in near future, I’m afraid.

  4. Have a user forum

    Implement a forum where users can post about using Paraview. This seems to be a more organized way to document the user discussion about Paraview instead of mailing lists.

    Sorry the mailing list has been the traditional way we have done this and it would split the community (and the archives) if we moved to another platform.

  5. apply filter for each slice using slice with several offsets as optional choice

    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

  6. Paraview generated python script for the existing pipeline

    It would be great if you could use Paraview to generate your visualisation and then export the pipeline in a python script.
    As i understand, Paraview uses vtk for the rendering. But all of that functionality is hidden behind the scenes.
    Being both a vtk and paraview user, i often felt the need of generating a viz. pipeline in paraview with ease of gui and then having a look at how it uses vtk to do what it does.

    This feature, i believe, will facilitate learning of both Paraview and vtk platforms and show users how they work together and…

    In 5.4, you can save ParaView state as a Python script. Simply use “Save State” and choose *.py as the format to save in. Note however the script generated is not same as a VTK python script as ParaView provides higher abstractions on top of VTK.

    Also, there’s Python tracing capability in ParaView that will help understand what action corresponds to what Python snippet, for example.

  7. integrate the vtk GL2PS class into the GUI for exporting screenshots

    I'm aware that this class cannot produce correct Postscript (vector) graphics for all cases, but for certain cases it works and the vector grphic output is great.
    MayaVi (at least old V1.5) has this exporter enabled. I'd love to have this option in Paraview as well.

  8. adjust paraview makefiles to run with cmake 2.6.2 instead 2.6.3 because apt-get gives you 2.6.2

    adjust paraview makefiles to run with cmake 2.6.2 instead 2.6.3 because apt-get installs 2.6.2. Alternatively, push out the new cmake version to debian/ubuntu. Thanks!

    Yes. There has been a lot of discussion on the maling list about this. In essence, it is now replaced by Selection Display inspector and Find Data dialog.

    BTW, the mailing list may be a better avenue for such inquiries.

  11. Add capability to define motion to a probe

    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.
