One possibility is ParaView Catalyst's live viz capability (<a href="http://catalyst.paraview.org/" target="_blank">http://catalyst.paraview.org/</a>). At this point I would consider it beta functionality for it's intended purpose but it may be sufficient for what you're trying to do. I'm attaching a Python script that you can demo it with. You'll need to change the path to can.ex2 in the script to your local location (it's available in ParaViewData in case you don't have it yet). The directions on how to use it are:<br>
1) <path to pv build dir>/bin/pvpython co_processing_3.py<br>2) run paraview and select Tools->Connect to Catalyst and click OK in the next 2 pop-up dialogs<br>3) Select each filter under catalyst and then click on the circle/triangle thingy to the left of it.<br>
4) This should bring up the same filters under the builtin server. At this point hopefully one of them will have a grayed out eyeball that you can make visible to see the "simulation" in the ParaView client.<br>
<br>Now you should be able to make a new pipeline on the client to interrogate that data. If this doesn't work, try quitting the ParaView client and repeat. Like I said, it's beta functionality and doesn't include a test so depending on which version of ParaView you're using you'll get different results. I'm using master as of today so it's a bit clunky but it may work really nicely with other versions.<br>

Another possibility is the adios reader plugin. I don't know enough about that though to give you any more information.<br><br>Regards,<br>Andy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 4, 2013 at 2:58 PM, Michael Jackson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike.jackson@bluequartz.net" target="_blank">mike.jackson@bluequartz.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

We are writing some data analysis software in which we would like to visualize each step of our analysis. Is it possible to send ParaView a "chunk" of data at certain times during our program that ParaView will then visualize?I I seem to remember something like this but I must have the syntax incorrect as I am coming up empty searching around the wiki?<br>

Thanks<br>
