Well, it really depends on how big your datasets are.  Large datasets 
are hard to visualize and if the data is parallel this is really quite 
hard.  For such cases I think ParaView (www.paraview.org) is a good 
option.  On the other hand if your data isn't all that large, mayavi 
should do just as well.  In either case you will likely have to resolve 
the data file format conversion issue.

What kind of output files do you have currently?  If the file format is 
supported already by VTK this should be easy to do. There is some 
information on how to generate data for mayavi here:

OK, the solutions above are free but I have no idea about how long it 
will take for you to get the job done.  Personally, I am swamped with 
other work at the moment.  I will ask if a couple of my students could 
possibly help with this.  I've CC'd them.

Sounds good although a personal meeting is not necessary to solve this 
particular problem.  If you'd still like to meet and are visiting Mumbai 
please drop me an email off-list so we can coordinate.  Thanks.
