Summary0005542: using timeseries stored in a vtk xml file
DescriptionI would like to be able to store multiple time steps in a single
vtk_xml file (no problem) and process them with paraview.
Storing multiple time steps is supported in the vtk xml format however
when opening such a file paraview tells me that there is only a single
timestep. googling for some usefull comments resulted in some
unsettling info. It seems that this is indeed not supported in
paraview and that i will have to use the paraview format. however
however this file type is more or less a list of vtk xml files (if I
understood correctly). Does that mean that if i want to use any vtk
based storage method i will have to store each time step in a separate
file? and does this also mean that i will have to store the mesh info
for each time step? We work with a fixed mesh and i am looking at
storing hundreds of timestep.

This is easy to enable but I need an example file to test. Please attach a small example.

i attached the testroutine from VTK/IO/Testing/Cxx and the resulting
vtu file with timesteps

cheers

will the solution you work on also work for pvtu files etc?

This now works with serial xml files (except composite data readers). I didn't enable it for distributed files because I am not sure how well it works and I don't have time to test it before 3.2 so I am reducing the priority.

I am closing this unless you have an pvtu example I can experiment with.
