ParaView first uses extensions to determine file type. Files with extension .nc or .ncdf are assumed to be netCDF files. If you are using another extension it should still work so long as the extension does not conflict with any other extension used. If no file extension matches you should get a dialog box asking you what type of reader to use. If the file is detected as a valid netCDF file, it should show up in that list.

I am running into a problem though. I am trying to import netCDF volume data. I am able to import the file using the raw binary filter, which works quite well, however, when I try to import a netCDF file with compressed variables, this approach does not work. Glancing through the documentation, it appears that the is a netCDF reader built in, however it doesn't look like my file is being associated with the netCDF reader when opening. A little about my setup: Mac OS X 10.6.1, Paraview 3.6.1 binary, netCDF 4.0.1. Any help on this would be really appreciated. Thanks!
