Hi I am a new user to with fenics. I have a stupid question. I tried to solve a 3D elasticity problem, and my code runs okay. It’s a cantilever beam problem with force applied. I wanted to plot its bending figure. But when I tried to plot it in my spyder on anaconda, it failed. Also, I tried to save…

Also, for simple 3D problems you could also use vtkplotter , namely, for your example from dolfin import * from vtkplotter.dolfin import plot as vplot # code here to write solution in the function `u` vplot(u) There is an extensive set of examples in vtkplotter and specifically in vtkplotter.dolfin.…

[image] BilZah: r on anaconda, it failed. Also, I tried to save it and plotted it with paraview. It failed too. The displacement in the function is “u”. The code is show belo Could you post the error you get while plotting, and which version of dolfin are you using? Your code runs fine and si…

[image] bhaveshshrimali: XDMFFile(“test.xdmf”).write(u) Thanks a lot for your help. Sorry for the late reply. My dolfin version is 2019.1.0. And my paraview is 5.8.0. Is that okay to do the plot?

Hi I just made it out! the vtkplot works for me! Thank you so much!

Yes this should work. I have paraview 5.6 on my windows machine but I expect this to work on 5.8 too unless it didn’t install properly. Edit: Dokken already posted the link to the discussion I was about to post. Also just for completeness: from dolfin import * is the same as from fenics import …

I see. Thank you for your help!

There is a bug in Paraview 5.8.0, see: Error in opening 3D plots in fenics and .pvd files in Paraview 5.8.0 in Ubuntu 19.04
