[Paraview] Fwd: Visualization in ParaView/VisIt

[Armin Wehrfritz]

For such kind of data I typically write a custom made XDMF [1] file. 
XDMF is basically a XML wrapper that contains the description of the 
HDF5 data file.
What comes in handy in your cases, is that you have the heavy data 
already in a HDF5 file.

I typically write the XDMF file with a hand crafted python script since 
I typically deal with data sets from various source.
However, there is also a XDMF library [2,3], which should provide some 
convenient advantages.

The XDMF file format is very well supported by ParaView, or VisIt for 
that matter.

I attached 2 XDMF files, so you get an idea what I'm talking of (the 
HDF5 data files are missing though).
