Hi Chris,

To visualize Discrete Elements as Point Sprites with variable radius, here are the strategy I use:

1/ Check how the radii are stored:
    1.1/ If it is in a cell field, use 'cell data to point data' to copy it to the points
    1.2/ Then, if it contained with other data on a vector, use the Calculator to extract it as a scalar

2/ Select the Point Sprite representation : in the display tab, you can choose your scalar field to scale your sprites.

Don't hesitate to ask if it is not detailed enough.

Regards, Vincent

I am trying to figure out how to use the Point Sprite representation in Paraview to create some visuals of output from a Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation and found your contact information from a Paraview message board.  My data files are legacy format .vtk files.  I am having difficulty generating visuals for systems that include multiple particle sizes and was wondering if you could describe which switches need to be set or point me to a suitable tutorial?  I am using Paraview 3.98.0 64-bit on Windows 7.

Thank you very much,

Chris
