<div dir="ltr">Dear Samuel San,<div><br></div><div style>thank you for the response. But it didn&#39;t answer my question. I have a grid of 512x512x512 which I initiate in the xmf file using the following lines:</div><div>

    ParaView is capable of reading multiple results inputs; they can be
    the same input read twice. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... inputs can all be
    in different formats, the inputs can be displayed in the same view
    or separate views. A given input can be displayed in multiple views.
    A given input can be &quot;moved&quot; from one view to another using the
    eyeball toggle.<br>
    <br>
    Does this help?<br>
