Convert CGS unit to SI on Paraview

Submitted by NTT1508 on Tue, 02/03/2015 - 05:06

Hi all,

I am looking for a solution to convert result from CGS unit simulation to SI unit and display on Paraview. I am doing CFDEM coupling in CGS unit. The outcome (dump files of LIGGGHTS and VTK of OpenFOAM) in CGS unit is sometime hard to capture quickly graph due to unfamiliar unit and not consistent to others as well. I think using a scalar or filter might work out. Does anyone has idea or experience on this issue?

Thanks,

Regards,

Nathan,

Hi Nathan,

a Calculator Filter can make the conversion!
You can scale scalars and vectors.

Cheers

Hi Josef,

Thank much, That is what I need. Is there any way to save data after scaling to another VTK set?

Hi Nathan,
in ParaView
File -> Save Data -> vtp
is not doing what you want?
