3D plotting software for Athena++ HDF5 files

[raman-maker]

Is there any software that can create 3D plot of Athena++ HDF5 data? When i try PARAVIEW it crashes after few minutes without getting any 3D plot. Any idea.

You need to use the xdmf files that are enabled by default. Those have the metadata that Visit and Paraview need to actually understand the hdf5 files.

Please can you explain in detail. I have .athdf files. How i should use xdmf files?

Actually I am working to create 3D plots of Athena++ HDF5 data in Julia programming language. ParaView/ VISIT 3D plots don't have good resolution. I got Flux ropes in 2D plot but not in 3D plot. I have successfully created sphere from mesh blocks, but i am looking for better interpolations in colors. Thanks.
