Yade

VTK ERROR

Asked by JOHN

Good evening,
Sorry this might sound really beginners question but. I installed vtk using sudo apt-get install libvtk6-dev
When i try to visualize the results of a yade run i get the following result

Hi,

The error says "No such file or directory" which means you're asking to analyze a file ("/home/john/Desktop/working2/work/vis/3d-vtk-spheres.301.vtu") which does not exist.

Most probably it is at another location than you thought it is, or you made a typo in its name (or any other possible misuse)

Next time, please try to reserve pure vtk-related questions for a VTK forum/mailing list.

Jérôme
