[Replying back to ParaView list.] No. You would have one file per time step; each file would contain 100 particles.
I don't know what you mean by independently. If you mean each moving on its own trajectory, that will work fine as I described. -Ken Sent from my iPad so blame autocorrect.

ParaView understands time. It is possible to define data that changes over time, including structural changes like adding and removing points. How you do that depends on how you are representing your data. For example, if you are reading your data from a csv file, you can create a series of numbered csv files that ParaView can read as a series of timesteps. -Ken From: Matthew Houston <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Friday, May 23, 2014 10:44 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Animate 3D data points Individually I have not been able to figure out if it is possible to add a 4th dimension to my 3D data set (time) in the animation. I would like to be able to have individual data points appear in the animation at different times. Is this possible? Thanks, Matt Houston
