GUI Visualization Error

Hello,

I have a visualization problem in Cubit. As can be seen in the attachment, the block “V_sample” should be highlighted, but something is being displayed.

Two days ago everything was still correct. Today I updated everything (I use Ubuntu 20.04) and installed a few packages. (see attachment “newInstalled.txt”)

I have also attached the python file for creating the geometry (rsst_latest.py).

Many thanks in advance
Best regards
Andreas

newInstalled.txt (1.2 KB)
rsst_latest.py (10.2 KB)

My Windows version of Cubit 2022.4 displays the highlight correctly.

Looking at your updates, I’m seeing anything obvious that would conflict. Updating the system python will not affect the python that is installed with Coreform Cubit. We link against a specific python version and that version of python is included in the Coreform Cubit install. I will ask my Linux gurus about the others. I am not seeing any of them that I would expect to make a difference to the VTK graphics engine.

Do you use Paraview? Have you noticed any issues there?

Thanks,
Karl

Hey Karl,

thanks for the fast reply.
The geometry is displayed in Paraview without any problems.

For completeness, the visualization error also occurs when I select a body, volume or surface. But not with a vertex selected.

Hi Andreas,

The only possible library conflicts that we can see might be related to gtk. Do you have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH set? Do you have Cubit added to your PATH? Where is it related to other executables in your path?

Karl

Hi Karl,

no, I have not set a LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Furthermore, Cubit isn’t added to my PATH. I open Cubit via an alias, directly from the installation folder.

Andreas

Andreas,

I’m stuck. I don’t know what the update did to break Cubit. Can you uninstall the packages and maybe install them one at a time to see what causes the problem?

We are currently running Ubuntu 22.04.1 on our Ubuntu development server.

Thanks,
Karl

Hi Karl,

ok, I will try.
I am using Ubuntu 20.04.

Best regards
Andreas

Short update from my side.

I uninstalled the packages and reinstalled everything, updated my graphics driver, …
However, nothing helped.

The last way out was now to rebuild my notebook (I use now Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). Now everything runs again without problems

Best regards
Andreas

Andreas,

I’m glad you were able to get it to work again. I have no idea why that upgrade broke things. We will track this for other reports.

Karl
