I think: 1. It should be "DATASET UNSTRUCTURED_GRID" not "DATASET STRUCTURED_GRID" 2. In CELLS it should be NC*5 not NC*4, because this represents the total number of integer values in the CELL list. In your case it is (Number of elements*(1 + Number of nodes per element)) 3. In the CELL list you

Thank for the reply. I am using a netcdf grid file. This file consists of three dimensions. When I open it in paraview the x- and y-dimensions are nicely displayed while the z-variable is colour coded. I, however, would like to display the the z-dimension in z-direction. Opening the data in 3D mod

Merge blocks will remove any arrays not present in all the blocks. Are the arrays that are disappearing available on all the blocks that you are merging? You can verify that by going to the information tab. Any any arrays marked as "partial" are not present on all blocks. Utkarsh On Fri, Nov 19,

Try applying the "Table to Points" filter. There you can choose the 3 arrays that constitute the point coordinates. After which, you can choose to color the points using "id" either on the Display tab or using the color-toolbar. Utkarsh On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 4:57 AM, mariagrazia.madas...@liber

Ok, I found a way now. I will post it here for the benefit of future readers. I had to apply two filters to the data. First 'Extract Suface' and then ' Warp by Scalar'. However, I encountered another problem now. While these filters worked fine on one file they made Paraview crash on another. The

Your csv has all numerical values in quotes ("). That's resulting in treating those values are strings instead of numbers. Remove the quotes from all numerical values and it should load it in correctly. Also there are "," in place of decimal points. You may want to fix that too. Utkarsh On Fri,

There are a few different ways to do this. One client I am working with is creating an UNSTRUCTURED_GRID file full of "VOXELS" where each voxel has a scalar value associated with it. When you load this up in ParaView you will get something like the image you linked to. _
