-To create a visualization, the **first step is to load an image file** with the "Browse" button. The following combo boxes ("Object Type", "Object Name", "Field Type" and "Field Name") let you chose which field you want to visualize from the image file. These combo boxes work in a cascading manner: once you have chosen the "Object Type", it will update the available options for the "Object Name", once you have chosen the "Object Name", it will update the available options for the "Field Type" and so on. Hence **they allow you to narrow down the field search**:+To create a visualization, the **first step is to load an image file** with the "Browse" button.

-So far, we implicitly discussed about visualization composed of a single occurrence: the visualization was time-independent. However, the SesamX viewer enables also the post-processing of time-varying fields (which is often the case for non linear resolution solution's fields).+So far, we implicitly discussed about visualization composed of a single occurrence: the visualization was time-independent. However, the SesamX viewer enables also the post-processing of time-varying fields (which is always the case when visualizing solution's fields).
  
 When visualizing a field, you can tell if this is a multi-occurrence field from the "Information" panel. A multi-occurrence field will indicate more than one time available. When visualizing a field, you can tell if this is a multi-occurrence field from the "Information" panel.

 You can also display animations of time varying fields. Do not hesitate to consult [[https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/UsersGuide/animation.html|Paraview animation documentation]] to learn how to best visualize time-varying data. You can also display animations of time varying fields.

-<callout type="primary" icon="true">A SesamX non linear static resolution does not depend on time, but on the level number. However, the SesamX viewer makes no distinction and will treat each occurrence as a time in seconds. For instance, a static solution composed of 10 occurrences ranging from 1 to 10, will be seen, by the SesamX viewer, as a time-varying solution ranging from 1 second to 10 seconds.</callout>
