style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:maroon'>There really
isn’t any difference between the two approaches except that in approach B
you save the data. If you don’t really want to read that data in
again, then the save step is unnecessary. If you do want to read the data
in, then you may want to consider saving the data after running D3 so that you
don’t have to process it with D3 the next time you load the data.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=maroon face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:maroon'>The difference
between saving data in serial and parallel is the file formats offered.
In parallel, you can only use a file format that supports writing in
parallel. I think all the current parallel writers create a separate file
per process and a metafile to point to them all.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I just
want to make sure that I am doing the right thing, I followed some manual
online to run my data on paraview ( built on a cluster ) <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>I did
using 2 approaches<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>My data
is in a XML Polydata format<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Approach
A<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>1) Load
the data<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>2) Run
the D3 filer<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>3) And

<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>1) Load the
data<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>2) save
the data -- I read the below notes from paraview wiki<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>What does
"Save Data" entry in the file menu do when you are running more than
one process ?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>When
running one process, "Save Data" creates a file from the current data
set in ParaView. When running more than one process, save data creates
spatially distributed files. Each process writes its own data in a file. A
single meta-file pointing to these pieces is also created.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>3) Run
