[aspect-devel] The output of nonadiabatic_temperature

[Nan Zhang]

Hi Juliane,

Thanks for your suggestion. What I really want is the excess temperature,
the T subtracted from the average temperature on depth. I have done the
post-processing with the .csv format, because Paraview converts the .vtu
file to .csv file.

My problem is the csv file is not good for paraview plotting anymore.  Paraview
plots csv file with table to point. There is no any smooth/grid between
points. The visualization is very bad. Have you guys done any conversion
from csv back to vtu before??

Cheers,
Nan
