[Paraview] How to make movies using trajectory data of granular particles

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Hmm.  Sounds like there is something wrong with the format of your data or something is wrong with ParaView's reader or your data file is using some feature that ParaView's reader does not support.  At any rate, there is not enough information here to diagnose the problem.  It would help if you posted your data.  Hopefully someone on the list who knows more about the XYZ molecular data format can look into it.  (I have never used it.)

Could you be more specific about what format your files are in?  Many different file formats use the .xyz extension, and the .dat extension is so generic as to provide no real information whatsoever.  ParaView provides two readers that read files that use the .xyz extension: XYZ Molecular data files and PLOT3D files.  However, as neither of these files have an associated .dat file, I don't think either of those is what you want, which is probably ParaView is not reading the data correctly.

I loaded the trajectory using .xyz and .dat files (separately). But it gives an error.
 The thins is that .xyz file contains the trajectory data and its not opening.
 Whereas, with .dat file there is no error but lines are displayed instead of  individual particles.

 Please help me in this issue.

 Thanks.

To load your data, if you have not done so already, search this list for many postings of the same question.

 To display trajectories, use the "Particle Pathlines" filter

 Subject: [Paraview] How to make movies using trajectory data of granular particles

 Dear Friends,

 I am new to Paraview. I am having trajectory data from simulation of granular particles.
 I tried a lot to make a movie in Paraview but couldn't find the way to do it.

 Please tell me the procedure to make movies from granular particle's trajectory data.

 Thanks.

 With best wishes,

 Ashish
