Faiz,

I was able to replicate your problem. It looks like it is not an issue with D3 
but a change with how Table to Points creates data (or perhaps how data are 
written). It looks like Table to Points is creating one “cell” with a lot of 
points. This saves a little memory but ends up preventing D3 from dividing the 
points up.

The best solution is to add a “2D Glyph” filter after the Table to Points but 
before the D3 filter. Set the “Glyph Type” to “Vertex”. Then apply the D3 
filter to the output of the 2D Glyph filter.

Hi Moreland,

Thanks for your reply.

I thought same except maybe not use the GUI since my data is big and takes 
forever to load up in Paraview.

Quick question/observation - using the GUI and 8 processes, and applying the 
Tables to Points filter + D3 and then trying to save files doesn't create 8 vtu 
files and 1 pvtu file as expected. Instead, what happens is that I get only 1 
pvtu file along with 1 vtu file instead. Clearly something wrong. This was done 
using v5.2.0.

I tried the same thing using v4.0.1 (yes, old but it works!) and I got 8 vtu 
files and 1 pvtu file as expected.

Do you think this is a bug with 5.2.0? Or do I need to do something different 
with 5.2.0? Any pointers appreciated!

You can use ParaView itself to read in the csv file, convert it to an 
unstructured grid (Table to Points filter), redistributed on your 8 parallel 
processors (D3 filter) and then write out a pvtu file.

Offhand I cannot think of an easier way.

Hi again community!

Looking for suggestions - what would be a decently fast way to convert a huge 
CSV file into PVTU files?

What I want to do - load this huge file in a CAVE like environment, and use 8 
parallel processors.
