<div dir="ltr">So then what is the best format to use while handling time-varying data in ParaView? I currently use .csv files, but there is a separate file for each time step (so might go to about a million files for that many number of time steps).<div>

<div>It looks like the XYZ format could use a little love in ParaView. There are two XYZ readers in ParaView, and they both seem to have problems.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The first reader is labeled a "XYZ Files" and is actually one of the readers of the VisIt bridge. It works OK except that it does not handle time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The second reader is labeled "XMol Molecule Files". That uses the vtkXYZMolReader class in VTK. The reader as many more features including time support (in a really outdated way), but there appears to be a bug that is causing it to crash all the time: <a href="http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=14203" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=14203</a></div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm trying to import my time varying particle position data from an XYZ file format. In my file, instead of radius of particles, I mention what kind of particle it is (lets say C, H or O).</div>
<div>Now I would like to associate different radii with the different particle symbols. How do I do it in ParaView?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Next, if I have a time varying data, (file attached along), then why is ParaView not able to understand that there are multiple time steps? I am using a standard XYZ file format.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks a lot,</div>
<div>Rohit.</div>
