Postprocessing Workflow/Procedures/Features
Here is the place to accumulate which postprocessing procedures (workflows) are common, and which features are needed to support those procedures. I've filled in part of "Mesh Validation" as an example of what I have in mind.
Conventions
Let's use these conventions.
- List workflow step by step in a numbered list.
- Use bold to indicate a used or needed feature.
CUBIT
Mesh Validation
- build mesh in CUBIT
- run acd's tool to check euler numbers for the mesh.
- load mesh in ParaView
- apply Mesh Quality filter
- look at 2D Spreadsheet View of quality to find cutoff quality for n worst elements
- apply Threshold filter, to select only elements with quality worse than cutoff
- optionally glyph the thresholded vertices with spheres so that they show up
- optionally make mesh surface visible, but transparent to give context for where the meshing errors are.
- fix the mesh in these areas, using CUBIT
- repeat until mesh achieves the recommended values are achieved for the various quality metrics.
