Unsupported topology sphere
My user has a dataset that is failing. He wrote this up with the following comments:
The SIERRA/SM code represents “rigid body” blocks using a point/element of type “sphere.” Opening a file with such element types produces this message in Paraview 5.11.0-RC1:
( 14.973s) [paraview ] vtkIOSSUtilities.cxx:393 ERR| Element of topology 'sphere' with 1 nodes is not supported.
( 14.974s) [paraview ] vtkIOSSReader.cxx:2686 ERR| Error reading entity block (or set) named 'rigidbodyoutputpart' from '/snip/global.e'; skipping. Details: Unsupported topology sphere
As a result, the location and fields defined on this part can’t be visualized.
- Linux, master (and 5.11.0-RC2), builtin server.
- Open gears-DoNotRelease.e. Only turn on block ridigbodyoutputpart. Apply
An error is seen in the terminal window. Further, as stated, information tab shows no cells or points.
To see what it should look like, turn on and use the LegacyExodusReader in Tools/ Manage Plugins. You should see 5 points. (If needed, do a Reset and rubber band select of the screen. You will see them. Further, you can see them in the information tab.
I will send data to Cory. Data is gears-DoNotRelease.e. OK to share with anyone at Kitware.
