Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

Alex, The problem appears because the output of this Visit-based reader is a multiblock. Here is a workaround: apply a *Merge Block* filter on your input data, then apply the *Temporal Particles To Pathline* filter. Best, *Joachim Pouderoux*, PhD *Technical Expert - Scientific Computing Team*

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

I am attaching the first input file here. Each file has an incremented number in the filename and then I load them all at once using the Point3D reader. I just go to open and select the group, I don't do anything special to load them. Paraview detects them all as part of the same group, and I can

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

Alex, Again, could you specify how you are loading your files? If you open them as a file series, then your data should be considered as temporal and the filter should work. See https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Animating_legacy_VTK_file_series Best, *Joachim Pouderoux*, PhD *Technical Expert -

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

I was able to find this thread that mentions that maybe the input data set needs to have a DATA_TIME_STEPS key, but I am not sure how to specify this with the point3d data. https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2016-February/036211.html Is there a way just to use whatever mechanism the

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

Yes, I have one file per timestep and each file is a list of points, X, Y, Z, C with one point per line. I am loading it with the 'Point3D' input. Thanks! Alex On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 9:18 AM, Joachim Pouderoux < joachim.pouder...@kitware.com> wrote: > Alex, > > Could you specify how is your

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

Alex, Could you specify how is your data split over time? Do you have one file per timestep? How do you load your data with ParaView? Joachim *Joachim Pouderoux*, PhD *Technical Expert - Scientific Computing Team* *Kitware SAS * 2017-11-30 9:55 GMT-04:00 Alex Barrie

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

Thanks, I see it now - I missed it because it wasn't in the "Temporal" tab. When I apply this filter, however, I get an error about a missing DATA_TIME_STEPS information key. Is this something I can specify or does it have to be in the raw data somehow? Thanks, Alex On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data

Alex, I think here the filter "Temporal Particles to Pathlines" should do the trick. Best, Joachim *Joachim Pouderoux*, PhD *Technical Expert - Scientific Computing Team* *Kitware SAS * 2017-11-29 14:33 GMT-04:00 Alex Barrie : > Hi, > > I have

[Paraview] particle traces from point data

Hi, I have animated particles which are imported from point data (x,y,z). I want to add a particle trace, but I am not sure what to put for the 'seed'. I am not using a vector field, but rather just a list of particle positions that updates over time. How can I just add a trace to each particle
