Introduction

A VTKArchive custom task allows exporting of data extrapolated to the grid during the calculation. The standard archiving is always particle data. This option is most useful for visualization of grid results from 3D calculations. The files can be read by third-party visualization applications. A good option is the free, multi-platform ParaView application. The exported files have been written to work well with ParaView. If you export multiple archives in a single run, ParaView can load them as a block and animate the results. There are books and web sites on the use of ParaView.

The allowed parameters for the VTKArchive custom task are given below. Most parameters simply define a result to archive and thus take no value. They can omit argument #3 above for the Parameter command. The archiving time parameters, however, require the #3 argument. The VTK archiving options are:
