Attempting to use a command line method to launch Dytran results in a system .dll missing error message. Has anybody got a reliable way of running Dytran (with options) from the command line?
Paraview is a bit like Patran in the sense that you need to hit the Apply button on the Properties window for things to be loaded (if they are bold in the tree). Then the filters work per tree object, so once you select an item then it will show in the Filters menu what you can do to it. So if you've loaded a PVD file (this is just a text file that links all vtu files with correct timestamp) then select this in the tree and run the celldatatopointdata filter on that (and then isovolume on that resulting item etc). So you see that you can have multiple instances of objects in Paraview, each with its own fringe and visibility setup.
