Visualisation with Paraview about wec-sim HOT 3 CLOSED

It might be your STL file. I was having trouble with STL files created in different machines (Winodws vs Linux), but I thought I had fixed that.

Can you try running the RM3 example with simu.paraview=1? That one should work. Also can you share an STL file that gives this error?

Thanks,

Hi Carlos,

Here's a link to the .STL: https://www.dropbox.com/s/47l99pfmu6kq3cp/Float.STL?dl=0

Trying the RM3 i get a little further then get this error message:

Error using fprintf
Invalid file identifier. Use fopen to generate a valid file
identifier.

Error in bodyClass/write_paraview_vtp (line 434)
fprintf(fid, '\n');

Error in wecSim (line 262)
body(ii).write_paraview_vtp(output.bodies(ii).time,
output.bodies(ii).position, bodyname,
simu.simMechanicsFile, datestr(simu.simulationDate),
cellareas, hspressure, wpressurenl, wpressurel);

Many thanks for your help!

Hi Matt,

I cannot open dropbox. Can you also send me that stl file by email? My email is [email protected].

That's weird that the RM3 example is not working. Can you try pulling the latest version of WEC-Sim, and add simu.paraview = 1 to the input file of the RM3 example? Add this line anywhere after the simu variable has been initialized, and don't make any other changes. Once you have that working we can figure out why your specific example isn't working.
