Hello, Recently I've been learning to use VisIt to view firedrake data instead of Paraview. In part because people around me use it and also I think it looks good. When viewing data created in serial it works very easily but I found that when I was trying to view data created in parallel it was having problems finding the files. It turns out that one can fix this by changing one line in each pvtu file. There is line in the file that specifies the source and has the path then the name of the vtu file. If I remove the path and only have the name of the file then VisIt can fine the files easily. I have asked them if there is a work around but if not is there a way to change this when the data files are create in firedake?

Ah, I came across a similar problem using paraview. Are you using Visit on files that were created on a different machine? The problem I had was that the path in the pvtu was fixed, not relative, so when I copied the files to a different machine they could not be found. This bug has been fixed in Firedrake fairly recently (thanks Stephan!)

PS, if this is the problem you can edit your files to have the relative path rather than rerun... ________________________________ From: firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk <firedrake-bounces@imperial.ac.uk> on behalf of Shipton, Jemma <j.shipton@imperial.ac.uk> Sent: 17 May 2016 11:55:27 To: firedrake Subject: Re: [firedrake] how to change pvtu files?
