Summary0005461: Exodus Reader needs to handle restart files
DescriptionThis could either be an animatiuon or an exodus reader issue.
Need to be able to read exodus files with sequential or overlapping timesteps and animate them as a single sequence. The common case here is restart files --typically if a simulation crashes and has to be restarted we wind up with a sequence of files named test.e, test.e-s0002, test.e-s0003 ...
Each file will contain one or more timesteps (in some cases overlapping -- typically each subsequent file repeats the last timestep or two from the previous one with the later files timesteps being the correct ones). We need a way to open a all of these files (even if each one is split geometrically as well) and animate all of them sequentially over time.

Can you acquire (or generate) a simple file set that we can use for testing? It will have to be something small and that can be R&A'ed as UUR so that we may place it in the testing data repository.

Added a new "restarted exodus" reader. It reads in a file with an extension named .ex-timeseries. This file is just a simple text file with a list of all the files (or the first file in a series).

I currently do not have a test for the reader because I do not have an appropriate data file yet. I'm going to change the owner to Alan to procure a data set. After he does that, I'll add a test.

Here it is back again. I sent you files that should work for testing, that are publicly releasable. Enough documentation to allow testing (at least) would be appreciated.

Added a pqClientExTimeseries regression test.

Documentation on using the Exodus timeseries reader is now on the ParaView wiki:

YESSSSS! This is fabulous.

Tested client/server.
