Find data variables from raw data in paraview

Question

I have been given a raw volume data file and I am trying to figure out the data fields and variables in that data using Paraview. Tried different tutorials from the ParaView wiki and other videos from youtube. But none of them has any specific solution. I was able to apply different display representations such as slicing and volume in ParaView and find a pattern inside the volume data. But now, I need to find the data variables. Is there any way to find out the data variables and fields from the raw data file?

Answer 1

Different answer, depending on what you are looking for exactly:

• the Information Panel gives a list of data, with type and range
• the SpreadSheet view gives, hem, a spreadsheet. So one line per point or cell with associated data
• the FindData panel, to explore and pick point or cell depending on data value.
