<br>
<span style="background:#F7F7F7">I am working with ParaView for the very first time, and I am supposed to simulate 'n' particles over 't' time steps.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:#F7F7F7">With a code, I can generate the position vectors (3-D) of all the particles at all the time steps and I am currently writing the data down to a .csv format. I also have the data in .xyz format but when I import it, only the
first time step data is visible. What to do in order to be able to get all the data, from all the time steps?</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:#F7F7F7">How am I supposed to import the position vector data in to ParaView and simulate it over all the time steps?</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background:#F7F7F7">In the end, I would like to see something like this </span></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MOuKUExmFU" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#990066;background:#F7F7F7;text-decoration:none">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MOuKUExmFU</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black;background:#F7F7F7">.
If I must output the data from my code to some other format, which can be easily identified by ParaView as time-varying data, then what is that output format and how do I go about doing it?</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><br>
