Paraview

Hi,
I wonder if it's possible to visualise results on Paraview without having to wait for the simulation to finish. Is there something that I can change in the *.sh file?
Thank you.
Kind regards, ida a.

As explained in the guide...
there are options to create output data in formats: bynary, ascii, csv, vtk...
so using "-sv:vtk" you can create your output files directly on vtk, however others post-processing tools (MeasureTool, Computeforces...) will need to read the .bi4 format

Regards

Many thanks Alex.

What I do usually to check results before the simulation is done is: put comments on the lines in .sh file that (1) remove the contents of the output folder, (2) run gencase, and (3) run dualsphysics, and then I run the script again to get the partvtk and other programs do the postprocessing of the existing .bi4 files.

without having to wait for the simulation to finish:
my practice:
1. Run Preprocessor.sh only GenCase
2. start Solver.sh
3. Run Postprocessor.sh simultaneously or after some time
