[Paraview] XYZ format in PV

[Rohit Narurkar]

So then what is the best format to use while handling time-varying data in
ParaView? I currently use .csv files, but there is a separate file for each
time step (so might go to about a million files for that many number of
time steps).

Thanking you,
Rohit
