<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,<br><br></div><div><div>I know that Paraview supports many different file formats (<a href="http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:FAQ#What_file_formats_does_ParaView_support.3F">http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:FAQ#What_file_formats_does_ParaView_support.3F</a>).<br>
I know that the following parallel binary formats are among the ones supported:<br>- VTK files (xml with zipped, binary data)<br>- ParaView data files<br>- HDF5 files (different formats)<br>- XDMF<br><br>What I would like to know is which format is best parallelized by ParaView/VTK? <br>
When using structured or unstructured grids (size in the range of tens of gigabytes), does it <br>make sense to split up the file in different data sets manually? Or does ParaView/VTK do this <br>automatically? Or does it depend on which of the above formats is used?<br>
I have been using the PFLOTRAN HDF5 reader for a project (around 100 million cells), and it <br>did not behave very nicely so I was wondering if it would make sense in converting the files.<br>Is there any difference in using XDMF (HDF5 + XML meta descriptions <br>
if I understood correctly) or HDF5 directly within ParaView?<br><br></div><div>Thanks for the info,<br><br></div><div>Luis Manuel<br clear="all"></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:navy">--------------------------------- </span><br>
