Hi
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I have tried generate ids filter.However, the new generated id is changing 
every time step and it is hard for me to determine a threshhold.It is only at 
the beginning the particle I want to track locate all above z=0 plane.
The python utility in paraview seems to be very powerful. I now try to seek 
solution from it. It will be very appreciated if you have new ideas about this 
topic.

????: Re: [Paraview] Track massive particles over time, particle ID is known



I've tried to do the same thing Chenshu, this is how I ended up doing it:

open vtk particle file

generate ids (possibly apply it even if they already have ids)

extract entire dataset with particles through

threshold by generated ids for the particles you want

(This can be done multiple times to select multiple sets of points, then append 
datasets to combine them to one)

Temporal particles to pathlines


Unfortunately I haven't found a better way to actually select the particles 
other than through selecting them by particle ids. Just extracting a selection 
doesn't work properly with the pathlines filter. But you can extract a 
selection and view their ids in spreadsheet form. I was doing this, writing it 
down and then applying the threshold. Also the generate id's filter was 
applying them in layers in z, so you may find thresholding for z>0 is easy as 
it might be one threshold in the id's. You just need to find the right id 
number.

Maybe someone knows a better way though...

Hi everyone
   It troubles me for times. 
   I have a series of particles vtk files at different time step. And I want to 
track certain particles and extract them or color them with a uniform color. I 
tried to use "find data" and include the particle id with "is one of " option. 
However, it crashed due to overload of compute capacity. About 8 thousand 
particles is intended for tracking.
   Furthermore, at the begining, the particles of interest located at the upper 
layer, coordinatesZ>0, for example. And I want to extract them from the whole.
  Could any one help me? Thanks in advance!
