Saving data as .csv files

There’s no point data in that file (it contains cell data only). It’s useful to open an interactive Python session for data exploration:

% python
>>> import vtk
>>> reader = vtk.vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader()
>>> reader.SetFileName("BACKGROUND_IC_0005.vtu")  
>>> reader.Update()
>>> data = reader.GetOutput()
>>> data.GetPointData().GetNumberOfArrays()
0
>>> data.GetCellData().GetNumberOfArrays()
1

Also note that although you cannot post VTU files, you can post zipfiles, so just use ‘zip’ to create a zipfile if you need to upload data files.
