Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
To visualize Discrete Elements as Point Sprites with variable
radius, here are the strategy I use:<br>
<br>
1/ Check how the radii are stored:<br>
1.1/ If it is in a cell field, use 'cell data to point data' to
copy it to the points<br>
1.2/ Then, if it contained with other data on a vector, use the
Calculator to extract it as a scalar<br>
<br>
2/ Select the Point Sprite representation : in the display tab, you
can choose your scalar field to scale your sprites.<br>
<br>
Don't hesitate to ask if it is not detailed enough.<br>
<br>
Regards, Vincent<br>

am trying to figure out how to use the Point Sprite
representation in Paraview to create some visuals of output
from a Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulation and found your
contact information from a Paraview message board. My data
files are legacy format .vtk files. I am having difficulty
generating visuals for systems that include multiple particle
sizes and was wondering if you could describe which switches
need to be set or point me to a suitable tutorial? I am using
Paraview 3.98.0 64-bit on Windows 7.<o:p></o:p></p>
