I am not familiar with these books. I would recommend joining the
mailing lists of these groups here:

Please note that devsim is restricted to triangle and tetrahedral meshes.
I think you might find a book specifically about Paraview instead of
VTK. For example:
http://www.amazon.com/The-ParaView-Guide-Visualization-Application/dp/1930934297
I had an older edition of the Paraview book from kitware, but did not
find it very useful. Hopefully this new edition is improved. You can
join their mailing list at:

I have not updated the VTK writer in devsim in a long time. I do not
have very much recent experience with Paraview. Please let me know if
you have any issues with it. I use the Tecplot output format from
devsim with VisIt for most of my work.
