[Paraview] Help: How to convert a group of vtk data files at one time though ParaView

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Stan,

I don’t know if this functionality goes all the way back to version 4.1 (I only tried back to 4.3), but if you load your vtk data as a time series then you can similarly write them out as a time series of csv files.

Assuming that your vtk files are written as a numeric series (e.g. file001.vtk, file002.vtk, file003.vtk, …), ParaView will interpret that as a file series. When you click on the file series in the browser to open it, ParaView only actually reads in the first file. If you hit the play button, ParaView will load your files one by one as an animation over time.

If you have data in a time series like that, you can write out a series of csv files as a time series. Simply click on Save Data, specify a csv file name in the file browser, and then in the next dialog box check the box for “Write All Time Steps”. ParaView will then write out a series of numbered csv file, one per time step, which corresponds to each of your input files.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Help: How to convert a group of vtk data files at one time though ParaView

Dear all,

I am currently use ParaView version 4.1, to analyse vtk data. I want to export a group of data file from vtk into csv. However, there are about 900 data file in that group, and I don't think I could export them one by one. Do you know is there any way I could select them all and export them together at one time?  I cannot find relevant information in guidebook of version 4.1, and I am wondering is this due to the limitation of the old version?

Many Thanks,
Stan
