[Paraview] Import Raw (binary) Files as Cell Data

[Favre Jean]

I personally favor the use of XDMF to import raw binary data. This gives the flexibility to import cell-data and/or node-data

the XDMF code most likely to work for your example is the following:

Given your binary data stored in file "rawdata.bin", double-length floating point, with 4x4x5 cells, i.e. a grid of 5x5x6 vertices...

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []>
<Xdmf xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude" Version="2.2">
  <Domain>
    <Grid Name="3DMesh" GridType="Uniform">
      <Topology TopologyType="3DCORECTMESH" Dimensions="6 5 5"/>
      <Geometry GeometryType="ORIGIN_DXDYDZ">
         <DataItem Name="Origin" NumberType="Float" Dimensions="3" Format="XML">0. 0. 0.</DataItem>
         <DataItem Name="Spacing" NumberType="Float" Dimensions="3" Format="XML">1. 1. 1.</DataItem>
      </Geometry>
      <Attribute Name="Temperature" Active="1" AttributeType="Scalar" Center="Cell">
          <DataItem Dimensions="5 4 4" NumberType="Float" Precision="8" Format="Binary">rawdata.bin</DataItem>
      </Attribute>
    </Grid>
  </Domain>
</Xdmf>
