<div dir="ltr">What kind of visualizations are they looking to do? It may be a good idea to treat time differently here given that it is the most dense dimensions. I am thinking of some sort of tabular format that can then be used with filtering to extract a time step. Potentially, even a database may work depending on what the end visualization product will be.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 6:44 PM, Tyson Whitehead <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:twhitehead@gmail.com" target="_blank">twhitehead@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to help one of our users (HPC center) use ParaView to work<br>
with their wind tunnel data. They have a large number of time samples<br>
(60,000) from a series of surfaces with from a small number of sample<br>
points (64).<br>
<br>
The sample points are irregular but structured as they are laid out to<br>
be more dense in areas that should see more differences (i.e., at best<br>
you could say it was a non-uniform grid with several of the points not<br>
used).<br>
<br>
What file format should this data be put in to import into ParaView?<br>
<br>
The VTK legacy formats and XML description formats seem painful to use<br>
with this number of timesteps and I believe (please correct if wrong)<br>
that the NetCDF wants a regular grid.<br>
<br>
Thanks! -Tyson<br>
