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?
Ah, just a few steps needed here. Since Dytran results are stored per element you need to use the Paraview Filter-> CellDataToPointData that interpolates and averages the element results to the nodes (Patran does this automatically based on the element shape function etc). Once you have that you need to have FMATPLT as an Euler element output request (an improved version of FMAT when using coupling surfaces). This is the fraction of material inside a cell. You can then use it with the Paraview IsoVolume filter and select the range between 0.5 and 1.1 (all cells half filled line until over fill - any value above 1).
This is then what you should see (however this animation has a much finer fluid mesh than the default example):
