Dear All,
I want to have a nice 3d surface (or scattered) plot for the points I have from the simulation I have.
I got a CSV with all coordinate points with the relevant temperature.
thanks a lot,
Richard

Hi Richard,
You can try to use the delaunay filters.

hi, this is the csv file, and it crashes paraview during delaunay 2d[1.csv](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/4ff8e026c44f51b2485f5ea93c7ddfbc9bb5891c.csv) (1.5 MB)

You should use delaunay 3D as your point are in a volume.
It seems to works nicely here.

Of course. Here is a .pvsm to load.
Tested with pv 5.6.0.

Hi Richard,
No problem, can you precise which version of Paraview you are using.
In any case, here is how to do it :
- Open ParaView
- Open your .csv file, Apply
- Filter -\> Table to points
- set X to x, Y to y, Z to z, Apply
- Filter -\> Delaunay 3D, Apply
