Hello,

by OF, a set of sampling data was generated in .vtk-format:

data-"type" like that of paraView's "Plot over Line", i.e.
gauge_1
{
............
start (0.02 0.20 0.005);
end (0.02 0.25 0.005);;
............

gauge_2
{
............
start (0.2 0.03 0.005);
end (0.2 0.55 0.005);
............

data-storage: in diverse folders, each folder refers 1 time-step and has 2 gauge-files e.g.
gauge_1_alpha.water.vtk
gauge_2_alpha.water.vtk


my question is:
does someone know how to open and visualize a single file in ParaView?
and
if ParaView can open and visualize them in batch-wise, especially when time-steps are too many? (I did open them in ParaView, but got some trouble to visualize them)



many thanks in advance


here, 1 example of a single .vtk-file:
------------------------------------------------------------------
# vtk DataFile Version 2.0

0.02 0.239428 0.005
0.02 0.25219 0.005
POINT_DATA 5
FIELD attributes 1
alpha.water 1 5 float
0.999991 0.999922 0.999324 0.933144 0.519512

Hi,
one possible way to easily visualize the points from your VTK file is by using the "Point Gaussian", see my screenshot!
best,
Damian
