<div dir="ltr">James,<div><br></div><div>I am not familiar with DBL, but going a quick search, it seems like PLUTO code should be generating a xml file too (*.xmf) that you should be able to open in ParaView.</div><div>Here's the relevant extract from the docs (<a href="http://plutocode.ph.unito.it/files/userguide.pdf">http://plutocode.ph.unito.it/files/userguide.pdf</a>)</div><div><br></div><div><b>11.1.2 HDF5 Output: dbl.h5 or flt.h5 data formats</b></div><div>HDF5 output format can be used in the static grid version if PLUTO has been succesfully compiled with
the serial or parallel version of the HDF5 library, see §3.2.
The file extension is .h5 (and not .hdf5 as used by PLUTO-Chombo data files, §12.4) and output files
are written in Pixie format, a single-block, rectilinear mesh file using HDF5, may be related to the Polar
Ionospheric X-Ray Imaging Experiment.
The conventions used in writing .dbl.h5 or .flt.h5 files are the same ones adopted for the .dbl and .flt
data formats. However, with HDF5, all variables are written to a single file.
Pixie files can be opened and visualized directly by different softwares, like VisIt and Paraview. <b>Since
we have found compatibility issues with some versions of these visualization softwares, each file comes
along with a supplementary .xmf text file in XDMF format that describes the content of the corresponding
HDF5 file and can be opened correctly by VisIt and Paraview, see §11.3.5</b>.
Restart can be performed from double precision HDF5 data files by invoking PLUTO with the
-h5restart n command line option (§1.4.1), where n is the output file number from which to restart.
In this case an additional file (restart.out) will be dumped to disk.
Default: The default is to write ALL fields in .dbl.h5 format, whereas to exclude staggered magnetic
field components (if any) from the .flt.h5 format.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps.</div><div><br></div><div>Utkarsh</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 11:58 AM, James Evans via Paraview-developers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paraview-developers@paraview.org" target="_blank">paraview-developers@paraview.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div dir="ltr" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16687"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:13px" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16603">Dear Sir or Madam,</span><br style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:13px" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16604"><br style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:13px" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16605"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:13px" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16606">I'm James Evans PhD researcher in astrophysics, I have the pleasure to get in touch with you.</span><br style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:13px" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16607"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue","Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,"Lucida Grande",sans-serif;font-size:13px" id="m_4110790383770260211yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1496414754977_16608">Actually, I schedule to use Paraview for the first time as a visualization tool of my outputs. The format of my outputs is DBL and I think that I need to convert them to VTK format in order to be accessible by Paraview.
