[Paraview] SPH - follow-up on "Viewing meshless data"

[Mattijs Janssens]

We're using Paraview to visualise 
lagrangian data. The data is still 
generated by a mesh-tracking CFD code 
though and written in the 'legacy' .vtk 
format.

The lagrangian data is just a cloud of 
points each with some properties 
(velocity, mass, diameter etc.). We 
usually 'glyph' them as spheres where 
the diameter and/or colour are used to 
visualise the properties.
