<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Until now I was using “OpenFOAM” software which has a dedicated reader available in paraview to read the output files.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In parallel, I am working with a software called “Gerris”. Both the software’s use a collocated grid arrangement with field variables located at the cell centres. Unfortunately, Gerris writes an output in “vtk” format yet the data is always
interpolated to the cell nodes which I don’t want. I am just interested in the cell centre data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an alternative, I tried to write the output in ASCII format, with information regarding the cell centre co-ordinates (X, Y, Z) and velocity field data (U, V which are primary variables) at specific time intervals.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I realize it is not straight forward to visualize the ASCII data in paraview nor are there any readily available converters that do the transformation from a ASCII to VTK as per my knowledge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone guide me here,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For reference, attached you will find my ASCII data output which I would like to visualise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks;<o:p></o:p></p>
