The easiest way that does not require any Python scripting is to use the command line program (see https://toughio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html#export):
In your terminal or console (not Python IDE such as Spyder), cd to your simulation directory where your OUTPUT_ELEME.csv is located, and run:
toughio-export OUTPUT_ELEME.csv -t int
where `int` stands for the time step number you want to export (by default the last time step `-1`). This command will create a VTK file that you can simply drag and drop to ParaView (https://www.paraview.org/) for visualization.
If you want all the time steps in the same file and kind of animate your results, append the option `-f xdmf`:
toughio-export OUTPUT_ELEME.csv -f xdmf
You can open the XDMF file in ParaView too.

Keurfon Luu I followed your command lines and I can obtain the VTK file and open it using Paraview as shown below, however I find a problem while exporting the results to XDMF file. The following message appears.

Refaat G Hashish Can you update h5py?
pip install -U h5py
-
Keurfon Luu I have updated it, however the problem persists.
-
Refaat G Hashish Not sure what's going on here... After a quick Google search, it seems that others also have issues with h5py with Python 3.8 on Windows, so there is not much I can do on my end...
I would recommend you to downgrade your Anaconda distribution to Python 3.7 (the one I am using).

-
Refaat G Hashish Not an IDE. I said a terminal or console such as Windows console, Anaconda Prompt...

Keurfon Luu I run the command line, however I find the following error message.

Refaat G Hashish Do not run the command in Python. `toughio-export` is a command line script that should be run in a console or terminal (e.g. Anaconda Prompt). Open Anaconda Prompt and run the command, it should work.
-
Keurfon Luu I used Anaconda Prompt as illustrated in the attached photo. The error message indicates that toughio-export is not recogonized.
-
Refaat G Hashish What happen if you install toughio again from Anaconda Prompt?
pip install toughio --user
-
Keurfon Luu thank you Keurfon for sharing your tools, to answer this question i want to say that the same error rises

Hi,

Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.you have to add this path in the env. variable.

if you install it with conda, add the variable environment in win PATH:
