error with pyansys 0.15 example

[rostar]

Hi,

when I try to run the "Loading and Plotting an ANSYS Result File" example, I get the following error

raise Exception('Unsupported type {:s} for vtk copy'.format(typestring))

Exception: Unsupported type <type 'vtkobject for vtk copy

The 0.13 version example with LoadCDB works perfectly. Must have been due to some changes in the new version.

Thank you for your support.

Btw I am still struggling to find a way to plot element solutions (stresses, plastic strains etc.). Would be great if the functionality was available as well.

Turns out the error was related to the way different versions of vtk and python name a vtk object. I've fixed the bug in vtkInterface 0.1.3, which is live on GitHub and PyPi right now. Go ahead and run

pip install vtkInterface --upgrade

I'll work on adding element results today.
