<p>While ParaView can read CSV files and subsequently generate
images, the CSV format for simulation results limits the
functionality available to you in ParaView. My suggestion is that
you write your simulation results in a format that contains
geometry information, as well as, Point and Cell centered values
like displacement, velocity, acceleration, temperature,
concentrations, volume fractions, <i>et cetera.</i><br>
</p>
The attached document is a good place to start. (This document is
very concise and very complete, but the information is only written
down once. As a result, the format information is sometimes not
located where you need it.)<br>
<br>
If your simulations are concerned with the deformation of 3-D solids
and structures, I can provide you with FORTRAN95 routines that you
can use to write VTK-formatted simulation results. <br>
<br>
Once you can generate VTK-formatted datum sets, The File > Save
State command will generate *.pvsm files that will let you
"recreate" a previously constructed Browser Pipeline. (The PV *.pvsm
reader gives you the opportunity to select a different datum set.) <br>
<br>
There is a small two-cell mesh file attached that might be helpful
to you when constructing a VTK-formatted file writer in your
application.<br>

<div>Greetings,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently I am using my own application to generate a
simple CSV file which can be loaded up in ParaView. I then
create the visualization I want with a few manual filter
operations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I would like is to generate a file, preferably still
with a field for CSV-like raw data, that tells ParaView to
load the data and then apply the filters I want, so the view
I want is immediately available upon loading the file and
the raw data is available if I want to try other filters.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've taken a look at vpt and pvd files saved from my
intended view but I'm not seeing much correspondence between
the CSV data I generate, the filters I apply and the data
fields in there. I'm also pondering the save-state and
trace/macro features of ParaView but I suspect those won't
quite square with my aim of generating a file in an external
application which includes data.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could someone point me toward a proper way to do this? If
it comes down to plugin development I'm willing to take a
look at that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
