[Paraview] Animated Particles in ParaView ...

[Niklas Röber]

Never mind. If someone else needs to do similar things, have a closer 
look at the vtkParticleReader class:
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkParticleReader.html

Just wrote a Matlab script that transforms all my data into a particle 
time series, which can be opened in ParaView, even with additional 
scalars assigned. Afterwards, I applied the filter 
TemporalParticlesToPathlines and the animation looks pretty cool.

Cheers,
Niklas

> Hi,
>
> I have an animation in ParaView with 1440 timesteps. Additionally, I 
> have about 500 particles/points which I would like to combine with 
> this animation. The particles are also animated over time but not over 
> the entire length of the animation. The lifetime of a typical particle 
> is about 60 to 500 timesteps, and of course they all start at 
> different times. ;-) At the moment I have all data stored as CSV time 
> series, but doing everything using CSV is not only alot of work, but 
> might also be too much for ParaView. Therefore, I am looking for a 
> smarter way to store, load and animate my particles. Anybody any idea 
> how to do it? Any help is much appreciated!
