There is an example of what Ken is discussing below on the Wiki here: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats. Look for CSV time series.

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.
