How do I format a PLOT3D file for ParaView?

Question

I'm trying to describe the shape of a rabbit heart in order for simulations to be visualised with ParaView.

The problem I'm having is that ParaView would like the geometry to be described in PLOT3D format, a clear description of which I'm struggling to find online.

The geometry I have consists of a regular 3D mesh, from which only some points are tissue—others are in the space around or inside the chambers.

I'd be grateful if anyone with experience of this format, or who can make better sense of the online documentation could help me out.

Thanks in advance.

ParaView supports a wide variety of formats.

If you can't generate any of the formats easily the python programmable source is probably the easiest way to get data into ParaView.
