Thanks for the reply! I have tried this setup, however I could not find a filter that would produce the correct output with the CreateWriter. When using the PlotVariablesOverTime it does not work, as it produces a vtkMultiBlockDataset as opposed to a vtkTable that is required by the CSV writer.
The solution I have found was to use a programmable filter in a similar setup (with the appropriate selection of the block and column indices): progFilter=ProgrammableFilter() progFilter.OutputDataSetType='vtkTable' progFilter.PythonPath = '' progFilter.RequestInformationScript = '' #progFilter.RequestUpdateExtentScript= '' progFilter.Script = "\ dataTable=self.GetInput().GetBlock(0).GetColumn(0)\n\ output=self.GetTableOutput()\n\ output.AddColumn(dataTable)\n\ " I believe it is worth mentioning that it is possible to put the debugger breakpoints (pdb.set_trace()) in the progFilter.Script string and this way to figure out what exactly the input of the filter is like. 2013/10/4 David E DeMarle <dave.dema...@kitware.com> > Try Using CreateWriter() like so: > writer = CreateWriter(".../foo.csv", source) > writer.FieldAssociation = "Points" # or "Cells" > writer.UpdatePipeline() > del writer > > David E DeMarle > Kitware, Inc. > R&D Engineer > 21 Corporate Drive > Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 > Phone: 518-881-4909 > > > On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 10:18 AM, Peter Maday <madap...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Dear All, >> >> I would like to automate a process that involves saving the output of a >> PlotSelectionOverTime filter to a CSV file.
