The ParaView Tutorial is an introductory and comprehensive tutorial. It teaches using ParaView through examples that start at basic usage and continue through more advanced topics such as temporal analysis, animation, parallel processing, and scripting.

This tutorial is sometimes referred to as the supercomputing tutorial because it originated as the handout documents for a series of tutorials at supercomputing. However, because the tutorial was designed for the beginning user, the material was general enough to be useful to a broad audience and became a popular document for learning ParaView. As time passes we are starting to add more advanced topics from tutorials in more specific domains. This tutorial has become something of a repository for teaching materials, hence simply the tutorial.

The latest version of the Self-directed Tutorial exists on https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/Tutorials/SelfDirectedTutorial/index.html.

Of course, you will also need ParaView itself. You can get the most recent version of ParaView from http://www.paraview.org.

If you want to reference this version of The ParaView Tutorial as a publication, please use the following:

Kenneth Moreland. The ParaView Tutorial, Version 5.6. Technical Report SAND 2018-11803 TR, Sandia National Laboratories, 2018.

Translations

Some individuals have been good enough to translate the tutorial in other languages. When they become available, we will post them here. Please keep in mind that these are done after the English version is created and on a volunteer basis. If you are not finding a recent translation in your native language, then thanks in advance for volunteering to create a new translation.
