Greetings,
I am experimenting with pvd recorder and Paraview software. I did succesfully made a pvd file out of my model (model is made of just of nodes and line elements), but when i open it in Paraview, nothing happens. Is it possible to visualize model with just line element (e.g. forceBeamColumn element) or it is good just for 2d and 3d finite elements? If it is possible, can you tell me how, and maybe attach some screenshot.
Thank you

Re: PVD recorder and paraview
I've succesfully opened .pvd file in Paraview and visualized my model, and yes it can visualize line elements 
. The problem is that now I cannot see deformed shape, because "Warp by vector" option is grayed out in Paraview. I've recorded <disp> in a .pvd file as is said in http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~zhum/command.html. Does anybody know the solution?
Thanks
