How to use the Paraview?

[YunfeiWang]

Dear all
   
    I want to add a new module which could output files that can be read by Paraview. The user macro is showed in attachment. So how to add it to FEAP? Is that

directly put the file on the specified directory or others?

Thank you very much

Best regards

In FEAP 8.4. there is already VTK support included. You find the files in ./packages/paraview.

Thank you for your reply

   Could you tell me how to call it in the interactive window or input file?

  Thank you again

first you need to move the files into ./user/ (or modify the makefile) in order to compile FEAP with the paraview features.
than you can add the lines:

STREss NODEs
PVIEw,time

into the Newton-Raphson loop of your inputfile.

Have you added the umacr9 to your program?  Once you do you would get your output from the command name you specified in the umacr9 routine.  This should produce a file you can view using paraview.
