Hi, Berk, I just realized that I still need to know the format of the csv file. Can I use: x,y,z,d (where d is the diameter of the particle)? How will paraview know which colum to use to scale particle size (ie, d)?
I will have 1000 time steps. Does it mean that I have to load the csv files indivisually? Is there a possibility of using vtu/pvd format (still need to know the vtu/pvd format though)?

Like foo1.csv, foo2.csv etc. Then you load this series into ParaView. You apply Table to Points and Glyph (make sure to switch to 3D view), then you hit play. Note: ParaView does not support 2D data natively. You will have to add a fake z value. -berk On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 8:44 AM, Pei-Ying Hsieh <phsieh2...@yahoo.com> wrote: > HI, Berk, > > Sorry that I did not make it clear. I meant animation.
