To open this file in ParaView, just select it in the "Open File" dialog in the GUI. Then it will ask you which reader to use -- select the "NetCDF files generic and CF conventions".<br><br>Looking at ncbrowse it appears to only handle structured rectilinear grids. Some of the NetCDF conventions that ParaView supports include unstructured grid data.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
There are several NetCDF readers in ParaView. The problem is that NetCDF isn't a single file format but a method/library for storing and retrieving data. A convention must be specified to figure out how to interpret that data. What convention is your file?
You can do "ncdump -h <filename>" to see a brief description of what's in the file. If you send the file (if it's under 10mb) or include the output from that I may have an idea of which NetCDF reader may work for you.<br>
<br>
