You are a life-saver, literally. That would not have occurred to me for a long
time believe me.
As a final step, in the first piece I want to create only the geometry and in
the second piece some points (these are gauss points actually) and with some
data.
The problem is, paraview does not see “strain” when it is defined as given
below. However, if I swap the point dataset to the first piece it works: on the
wrong points of course.
And second, it is apparently not possible to show the geometry and point values
at the same time. Do you think I need to define two separate files and "light
them up" separately on main paraview screen?
Thank you a lot again. I think this will conclude my problem entirely.
