Mike,<br><br>I might totally unaware of what you are talking about, but do you mean I will have to store s1(t0) and s2(t0) together with u(x,y,z,t0)? <br><br>Here u(x,y,z,t0) is a scalar field at time t0 (i.e. nx times ny times nz data points), whereas s1(t0) is *a single value* at time t0.

Hi everybody,<br>
<br>
I have a time-dependent field u(x,y,z,t) and two scalars s1(t), s2(t). At the time being, for each time frame I have a separate .vtk file<br>
<br>
u(x,y,z,t0) -> step_0000.vtk<br>
u(x,y,z,t1) -> step_0001.vtk<br>
u(x,y,z,t2) -> step_0002.vtk<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
whereas the corresponding scalar quantities are stored synchronously in a single column-formatted file<br>
s1(t0) s2(t0)<br>
s1(t1) s2(t1)<br>
s1(t2) s2(t2)<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
I usually visualise the .vtk file and animate u. Since s1(t) and s2(t) are influencing the overall dynamics, I wold need to looad and visualise s1 and s2 at the same time, possibly animate them synchronously.<br>
<br>
What is the best way to achieve this? If you have any smart suggestions as to how store s1(t) and s2(t) within the .vtk file I would be grateful. Please note that s1 and s2 are *not* probation points of the field u, but they are totally diferent quantities.<br>
<br>
Best.<br>

Can you store s1 and s2 as scalars of the vtk data set? This means it would have to be included in each vtk file but would solve the problem.<br>
