[Paraview] Displaying netcdf data

[Venkat Kolluru]

Thanks Andy.
I have attached one typical nc file that I use for ocean models.
Shown below is the plot at a particular time using ncbrowse.
How do I access netcdf readers. Are they plugins or different netcdf file formats I see in open dialog box when I tried to load an nc file?
It will be convenient if we can have one reader like ncbrowse which can access all types of netcdf files.

Regards,
Venkat

Hi,

There are several NetCDF readers in ParaView.  The problem is that NetCDF isn't a single file format but a method/library for storing and retrieving data.  A convention must be specified to figure out how to interpret that data. What convention is your file?  You can do "ncdump -h <filename>" to see a brief description of what's in the file.  If you send the file (if it's under 10mb) or include the output from that I may have an idea of which NetCDF reader may work for you.

Hi,
I am trying to read netcdf file related ocean circulation data.
I am able to read the file but unable to display it.
I could not find any documentation on netcdf display in ParaView.
Can anyone suggest me as how I can use ParaView 3.10 to display netcdf file.

Thanks
