I don't really know anything about the xyz format, but if you write a series of 
csv files with numbered filenames each containing data for one time step, 
ParaView can read this as a time series and will animate it.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] ParaView Particle simulation xyz file format

Hi

I am working with ParaView for the very first time, and I am supposed to 
simulate 'n' particles over 't' time steps.

With a code, I can generate the position vectors (3-D) of all the particles at 
all the time steps and I am currently writing the data down to a .csv format. I 
also have the data in .xyz format but when I import it, only the first time 
step data is visible. What to do in order to be able to get all the data, from 
all the time steps?

How am I supposed to import the position vector data in to ParaView and 
simulate it over all the time steps?

In the end, I would like to see something like this 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MOuKUExmFU. If I must output the data from my 
code to some other format, which can be easily identified by ParaView as 
time-varying data, then what is that output format and how do I go about doing 
it?

Thanks a lot! Rohit.
