The frdConverter has a couple of downsides:

  • it is foreign code in our repository
  • it requires mono, which is pretty dependency-heavy (~700Mb on Ubuntu)
  • it is fragile to use as it needs an absolute path
  • there is no way to easily install it user/system-wide as it would require some wrapper script
  • it doesn't produce a .series / .pdv file which links output to time.

My suggestion is to replace it with ccx2paraview as it is easy to install, use, and produces .pdv files.

I am currently trying to get it to a state where installing it is as easy as pipx install ccx2paraview.
calculix/ccx2paraview#35

This would simplify the CalculiX repo, its documentation, post-processing in the tutorials, and the VM.

"pip install ccx2paraview" already works. You have do nothing. Just use my tool in your code. See how:
