Dear all,
I’m using the basilisk solver (see [https://basilisk.fr/](https://basilisk.fr/)), but I don’t know how to use paraviews to handle the results of basilisk calculations. This solver comes with a output\_vtk function, but it seems to only support 2D computing. How to use ParaView to process the 3D calculation results of Basilisk?

Welcome to the ParaView community, @SigmaYot_Zeta!
Maybe someone here can answer your question, but when it comes to its 3D output capabilities, it might be better to ask on the [basilisk user forum](https://groups.google.com/g/basilisk-fr). Assuming basilisk exports 3D data to VTK file formats, or another file format ParaView can read, ParaView will be able to read it and display it.
