<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Another idea here -- since your simulation is Python-based, you may want to consider just building a Python-wrapped build of VTK and importing the VTK writers directly into your simulation code. Then you'd have access to all of the readers/writers in VTK. Going through the blog posts at <a href="https://blog.kitware.com/improved-vtk-numpy-integration/">https://blog.kitware.com/improved-vtk-numpy-integration/</a> is a good example of how VTK and numpy can easily work together.<br><br></div>Cheers,<br></div>Andy<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 27, 2017 at 4:47 PM, Christopher Neal <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chrisneal@snumerics.com" target="_blank">chrisneal@snumerics.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I've enjoyed using the EnsightGold format for visualizing my datasets.
