[FLASH-USERS] Particle Files & Visit

[John Zuhone]

Hi Marissa,

IIRC support for FLASH _part_ files was never added to VisIt. You could try using Python and h5py to extract the particle positions to a text file and read them in that way (which I think would be Point3D). 

The yt project has native support for FLASH _part_ files, by the way:

Let me know if you have any more questions. 

Best,

John
