I am planning to use Paraview to post-process results from my in-house developed simulation software.
After reading the Paraview Guide, the File Formats for VTK and googling data formats, I still find very difficult to select the data format (among those supported by Paraview) which is more appropriate to my needs: - Type of dataset: polygonal mesh. - Time dependent. Topology is constant over time, but geometry (point coordinates) and attributes are not. - Dataset size: 1e5 points, 1e5 lines, 1e5 2D polygons, 2-4 attributes per line and polygon, 100-500 time steps. Of course, I would like to avoid writing the same (constant) topology for each time step. And it would be great if the topology could be stored in a separate file from the rest of the dataset (I often run several simulations for the same topology). I would appreciate any help to select the right data format for this kind of dataset. Best regards, Manuel ********************************************************* Manuel J.
