Visualize a million particles using paraview or visit

Submitted by dbxmcf on Sun, 05/12/2013 - 06:51

Hi, All:

I now have a simulation results of 1 million particles, the dump file is very large and for paraview it is very slow even just to open a single timestep file (around 0.5G per dumpfile XXX.vtk), does anyone have the experience to visualize such kind of large dataset? Is off-screen parallel rendering the best option for animate the particles under such kind of circumstances?

Thanks a lot!

You can use the point sprite plugin in paraview to do so.
