Hi Seb, thank you for the blazing fast response! This allows me to see slices through the variables on the grid, so the data is read-in correctly.
However, I am at a loss how to do a 3D volume rendering or a streamline tracing of data on my structured grid. In order to do that, as I understand, I need to apply a filter "Table To Structured Grid", as explained at http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#Displaying_data_as_structured_grid. However, this filter is grayed out (screenshot: http://www.princeton.edu/~atchekho/grayed_out_filter.jpg ). What should I do in order to do 3D volume rendering or tracing streamlines?
