To get started (assuming you have the ability to write another
results output file from your simulation code), pick a particle
point you want to follow, and have the simulation code write VTK
XML-formatted ASCII text files, one per time step (*001.vtu to
*123.vtu). Then create a meta file that references this file set (a
*.pvd file, an example is attached). This will give you the ability
to exercise the ParaView features that were discussed earlier. A VTK
file format document is attached. <br>
<br>
There other ways to generate the displays you want to see. I am not
sufficiently familiar with them to provide instructions. Others may
want to offer alternatives methods.<br>

<div style="">thank you for the response. But it didn't answer
my question. I have a grid of 512x512x512 which I initiate in
the xmf file using the following lines:</div>
<div>

<div> <Topology TopologyType="3DCoRectMesh"

<div> <DataItem DataType="Float" Dimensions="3"

<div style=""> </Geometry> </div>
<div style=""> <Time Value="00006"/><br>
</div>
<div style="">--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
</div>
<div style="">In this geometry I want to visualize just ONE
coordinate at each time step. Suppose I want to have a little
sphere at (x*,y*,z*) for time = t, how do I edit the xmf file
to do that? How should I input that data? </div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">I hope I explained my question clearly. If not,
please let me know.</div>

ParaView is capable of reading multiple results inputs;
they can be the same input read twice. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
... inputs can all be in different formats, the inputs can
be displayed in the same view or separate views. A given
input can be displayed in multiple views. A given input
can be "moved" from one view to another using the eyeball
toggle.<br>
<br>
Does this help?<br>

<div>I have a NxNxN (N=512) cube data stored

<div>For each time step I have a particular
node, say (x*, y*, z*), which I want to

have all these coordinates stored in a

me, how can I make a movie where these
particular nodes are highlighted along
