Someone have the solution?

Bests,

That visualization demo requires running the Do_00… script. Have you done that? There does seem to be a problem with Sierra though. See this thread:

"That visualization demo requires running the Do_00… script. Have you done that? "
Yes but don’t work.

OK, a few things to try:

In the FATCAT_demo directory, type

ls Net_000.gii

If it is there, try

suma -i Net_000.gii &

If that displays properly, then try this:

DriveSuma -com surf_cont -view_surf_cont y -com surf_cont -surf_label Net_000.gii -switch_cmap amber_monochrome -Dim 1.0

Let me know how each step goes.

first step "suma -i Net_000.gii & "

second step "DriveSuma -com surf_cont -view_surf_cont y -com surf_cont -surf_label Net_000.gii -switch_cmap amber_monochrome -Dim 1.0 "

in attach you find the output (step1 & step 2). No terminal error message

Close suma and repeat with these commands exactly from the Do_06… script (does not include the " -com surf_cont -view_surf_cont y" in the DriveSuma command). Use a tcsh shell to execute these

if you are using bash use “export sport=12” instead

set sport = 12
