Hi Li,<br><br>The coprocessing tools in ParaView will eventually support this but we're still working on that functionality. As Yumin said, the fastest way to currently do this would probably be to write your own plugin. You could look at the adiosreader plugin which should be doing some if not all of what you're trying to do.<br>

Hi Li,<br>
<br>
Not knowing the whole workflow you are trying to set up, I am thinking<br>
you have to manage the communications with your program generating<br>
data yourself, paraview does not do that. However, you could write a<br>
paraview plugin, which listens to your program and fetch the data once<br>
they are generated, then your plugin can use paraview's framework to<br>
display the data. Here is a link regarding how to write a paraview<br>
plugin.<br>
