You can also set the Discrete Time Step Interval option to get the temporal interpolated to make fixed time steps, which ParaView will automatically follow.

Earlier, I was using the 'Snap to TimeSteps' mode.

Note, however, that in order for this filter to work correctly the particles have to be consistent across all time steps. That is, particles cannot appear or disappear and the order the particles are listed always has to be the same. -Ken From: Rohit Narurkar <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 3:24 PM To: Kenneth Moreland <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: Walter Scott <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Paraview] ParaView Particle simulation xyz file format Kenneth, Right now, the animation that I get, is based on position vectors at discrete time steps. If I wish to get a smooth movement for each particle (from initial position to next time steps position), then how am I supposed to achieve that? Which filter can I use to make that possible?

You can expand that, but instead just open the group as if it is a single file. ParaView will load this file series as if it were a single file.

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.
