Hello.

Paraview is a 3D software that is always expecting a mesh (surface or 
volume) with the three X, Y, Z variables for points coordinates. Your 
simpxy.dat file has only two data variables (Distance and Temperature), 
that is why it cannot build points and cells and shows N/A (Not 
available). Try to add coordinates of a grid to your file, and you 
should be able to plot Temperature against Distance.
