<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear all,<br>
<br>
My task sounds pretty simple, but I am struggling to find a
suitable solution.<br>
<br>
We have a flow solver and want to write out various time dependent
variables on a structured grid. We choose the VTS XML file format
as we are using paraview to visualize our data and further the VTK
file formats seem to provide loads of freedom.<br>
The only proper documentation I could find was the 19pages PDF
`File Formats for VTK version 4.2'. This one tells me already
loads of things, but I am lagging some information to finish
writer:<br>
<br>
1. If i have 3 dimensional data (x,y,z) , how do I order the data
in the StructuredGrid format? Will it be <i>loop over z ( loop
over y ( loop over x ( write point ) ) )</i> or the other way
around?<br>
2. Our grid is not changing in time. How can I write a time series
with a steady grid in one VTS file? Or is it possible to write a
separate grid file, so that I do not have to dump the grid with
every time step?<br>
<br>
If you could provide a link to a decent documentation about VTK
file formats, I would be very please. Searching via Google was
very demoralizing.<br>
<br>
Thanks already in advance!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Patrick<br>
