Hi Seb, thank you for the blazing fast response! This allows me to see slices through the variables on the grid, so the data is read-in correctly. <div><br></div><div>However, I am at a loss how to do a 3D volume rendering or a streamline tracing of data on my structured grid. In order to do that, as I understand, I need to apply a filter "Table To Structured Grid", as explained at <a href="http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#Displaying_data_as_structured_grid" target="_blank">http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#Displaying_data_as_structured_grid</a> . However, this filter is grayed out (screenshot: <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/~atchekho/grayed_out_filter.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.princeton.edu/~atchekho/grayed_out_filter.jpg</a> ).</div>
