[Paraview] Usage of Octree, AMR

[Jing Li]

Hi Berk,
Thanks for your reply. The original Netcdf file is a regular spaced 3D dataset with a lot of filled values.  I plan to reorganize the data with AMR or some other more efficient structures for rendering. I am developing Python functions to resample Netcdf files but I am not sure if this is the right direction.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

From the Source, I can select octree which creates a "template" octree structure.  I'd like to use the octree structure to reorganize the 3D NetCDF data to make the rendering more efficient. If using octree is not possible, how about using AMR?
