The ExodusII binary-formatted results file will do what you want.
However, an ExodusII writer can be difficult to implement. Some
tribal knowledge is helpful. <br>
<br>
The EnSight-formatted results file will do just about everything
you want, and, at least in Fortran-95, a writer is less difficult
to implement. A results file-set is described with an ASCII text
meta-file known as a "case" file, example attached. ParaView lets
you select the point-results and/or cell-results to load for
subsequent display; very helpful for large datum sets.<br>
<br>
Both the ExodusII and EnSight readers in ParaView have good
support. They are both capable of handling large datum sets.<br>
