Extract point data over time

ParaView Support
1

Hi,

I’m using Paraview 5.10.1 and would like to know if there is a way to extract data from a point over time.
What I do right now is to

  1. Select point
  2. Use PlotSlectionOverTime
  3. Open another View and select SpreadSheet View
  4. Export it to CSV file.

However, PlotSlectionOverTime takes quite a lot of time because I have many time steps. (say 5000 time steps). Thus, I would like to know if there is a way to skip the plotting part, as I’m not interested in plotting with Paraview GUI. I guess I could use python interface, but I’m not familiar with it.

Best,

WHat takes time is not the plotting, it is the reading of all the timesteps.

If you want to read all the timesteps, you need to read all the timesteps, there is no way around it.
