Enable the nanoFluidX Toolbar Plugin
In the nanoFluidX installation folder you will find the PV_nFX_aux folder containing three additional folders: PV_backgrounds, PV_materials, and PVnFXTools. The ParaView nanoFluidX toolbar is in PVnFXTools folder.
The requirement of ParaView for automatically loaded
Plugins is to keep the location of the plugin consistent. For
PVnFXTools, this means the location of the folder and the
files in it should not be altered.
-
Copy the PVnFXTools folder to a location of your
choosing.
Important: For automatic loading of the Plugin, the folder and file locations should not change.Note: In some scenarios, ParaView explicitly requests the PVnFXTools folder to be put in the bin/ folder of the ParaView installation. For example: C:\Program Files\ParaView 5.8.0\bin\PVnFXTools. If you are using a ParaView installation on the compute node, it is also possible to not change anything and use the files in the original nanoFluidX installation folder.
- Open ParaView.
-
From the menu bar, click .
-
In the Plugin Manager dialog, select Load
New.
- Navigate to the PVnFXTools folder and select the PVnFXTools_withtoolbar.xml.
