Hello,

I am a totally beginner in the paraview.  
Please understand me even my question is a little weird.

I’d like to visualize SCHISM ocean model result using the paraview.  
But, it seems that there’s no file reader for schism model.  
Can I know if someone created and can share the file reader for this model?

Thank you for your clicking this question.

Hi @Jeong

Please share your data.

Looks like this project may help: [Improve unstructured netCDF reader (FVCOM, Telemac, ...) · Issue #243 · OpenDrift/opendrift · GitHub](https://github.com/OpenDrift/opendrift/issues/243)  
Best,

Thank you for your informing.  
It seems to be related to OpenDrift, not ParaView.

I think, I should make a reader file for a SCHISM model format.  
I tried several reader format for unstructured grids installed in Paraview, but all of them didn’t work for the SCHISM.

Best regards,

While studying a custom file format, I think I recognize your meanings. Do you mean that I may apply the netCDF reader of the OpenDrift to the ParaView because both are based on python code?

Best regards,
