We need more information before we can properly answer this question. First, which netCDF reader are you using (there is more than one in ParaView)? Unless your data is of a particular format, you should be using the "netCDF files generic and CF conventions".<br>
<br>
Second, we need to know the information about the variables defined. What variables are defined, what are their dimensions, and what are their attributes.<br>
<br>
I am guessing that you have not properly identified the variable "Time" as a time dimension in your netCDF file (simply naming it "Time" is not sufficient in the CF convention). To identify it as time, you also need to define a variable named "Time" of dimension
"Time" and containing the property "units" that contains a string value defining some time unit (such as "<font face="Courier New">seconds since 1992-10-8 15:15:42.5 -6:00". The contents of this variable should contain the time stamp for each time slice.
See the documentation for the CF convention (</font><a href="http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.6/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate" target="_blank">http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.6/cf-conventions.html#time-coordinate</a><font face="Courier New">)
for more details.<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
I am seeking advice regarding visualization of weather model output using paraview.<br>
I am only able to view the first frame of my netcdf file. The dimensions are:<br>
<br>
netcdf mynetcdffile {<br>
dimensions:<br>
Time = UNLIMITED ; // (25 currently)<br>
DateStrLen = 19 ;<br>
west_east = 329 ;<br>
south_north = 329 ;<br>
bottom_top = 50 ;<br>
bottom_top_stag = 51 ;<br>
soil_layers_stag = 5 ;<br>
west_east_stag = 330 ;<br>
force_layers = 8 ;<br>
south_north_stag = 330 ;<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
