    To get started (assuming you have the ability to write another
    results output file from your simulation code), pick a particle
    point you want to follow, and have the simulation code write VTK
    XML-formatted ASCII text files, one per time step (*001.vtu to
    *123.vtu). Then create a meta file that references this file set (a
    *.pvd file, an example is attached). This will give you the ability
    to exercise the ParaView features that were discussed earlier. A VTK
    file format document is attached. <br>
    <br>
    There other ways to generate the displays you want to see. I am not
    sufficiently familiar with them to provide instructions. Others may
    want to offer alternatives methods.<br>

              ParaView is capable of reading multiple results inputs;
              they can be the same input read twice. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
