You will have to discretize them I am afraid. It would be awesome if VTK/ParaView directly supported BSplines and NURBS as data structures...<br><br>-berk<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 6:58 AM, GMail <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:massimiliano.martinelli@gmail.com">massimiliano.martinelli@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm working on isogeometrical analysis ( i.e. FEM methods using BSpline and NURBS for the elements of the geometry and the functions representation)...is Paraview capable to visualize this kind of elements (BSpline and/or NURBS) or I'm forced to discretize my elements/solutions using linear/quadratic 2D/3D elements?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much<br>
MM<br>
