Chute_wear example

Submitted by beruz on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 19:17

Hi
I have tried to run Chute_wear example but because of another problem (syntax error) I could not use the normal 3 line commands to change dump file to VTKs.so I did some changes inside the input file to outputs directly vtk files (instead of dump file) . after visualization with Paraview I see a Chute which in animation some moving triangles appear on the surface .so I doubt if it is the real simulation or I am missing something like some particles which I see just affect of them on the surface (without seeing themselves).

I appreciate if you tell me if It is the whole animation or no I am missing some parts .
Regards
Beruz

I guess you don't see the particles then. you will need to read the dump file with pizza.py and convert it to vtk

Even I am facing similar issue with the Chute flow. I am able to see the chute and the particles separately. the particles are away from the chute and they pour and slide. The chute is separate. Is there something i need to do in the paraview for them to be together and make the particles flow on the chute?

i used many() function to extract the dump to vtk format and it worked...
