<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Could you be more specific about what format your files are in? Many different file formats use the .xyz extension, and the .dat extension is so generic as to provide no real information whatsoever. ParaView provides two readers that read files that use the .xyz extension: XYZ Molecular data files and PLOT3D files. However, as neither of these files have an associated .dat file, I don’t think either of those is what you want, which is probably ParaView is not reading the data correctly.<BR>

The thins is that .xyz file contains the trajectory data and its not opening. <BR>
Whereas, with .dat file there is no error but lines are displayed instead of individual particles.<BR>
<BR>
Please help me in this issue.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>

To display trajectories, use the “Particle Pathlines” filter<BR>

Dear Friends,<BR>
<BR>
I am new to Paraview. I am having trajectory data from simulation of granular particles.<BR>
I tried a lot to make a movie in Paraview but couldn't find the way to do it.<BR>
<BR>
Please tell me the procedure to make movies from granular particle's trajectory data.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
<BR>
With best wishes,<BR>
<BR>
Ashish<BR>
