Hi, ParaView community!

I have a time series with 50 timesteps and a CSV with 50 rows. I’d like to add each row information to the FieldData of each timestep.

Is that possible? If so, where to start?

Best regards,

the AddFieldArray would be a first step, but I do not think that it will be enough.  
A programmable filter should work.

I have done some work with the programmable filter, looping trough pointdata and celldata but couldn’t find anything on dealing with timesteps, can you help?

You programmable filter will be executed on each time step. Do you want to recover the time steps ?
