Using Paraview in client server mode

The Paraview reference for these comments is: https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/ReferenceManual/parallelDataVisualization.html# especially Section 7.2.Remote Visualization.

1. Log on to the STRALLC server and execute the command: pvserver & A message like: Waiting for client... Connection URL: cs://strallc:11111 Accepting connection(s): strallc:11111

2. Logon to the client computer and start paraview (It is important that the paraview versions on both client/server machines matches.)

   • click the file tab and select Connect If this is the first time connection, select Add Server Give this server a Name (e.g., strallc connection) Leave server type as Client/Server In the Host block enter: [email protected] Leave Port as: 11111 Click on Configure and click on Save on the pop-up Then, select the new server name and click on connect If all is well, you should get the message on the server: Client connected. On the Client paraview window, you will eventually see the Pipieline Browser change from builtin to the address of the server, which allows you to browse within the server file system.

     If this is not the first time connecting, then simply select the saved connection from above and click on Connect.
