<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=265334809-25072005>I have been using
paraview to display unstructured grid models which are deformed over time.
I am doing this by generating a number of files representing the entire model at
different timesteps and then animating through the timesteps (as described in
ParaView Digest, Vol 15, Issue 28). My problem is that I am generating Large
files and am looking of ways of reducing their sizes. My files are of the
form: </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=left><SPAN class=265334809-25072005><FONT face=Arial size=2>And In
each file the CELL_TYPES and CELL information does not change, only the POINTS
data and the SCALAR data do. So is there a way to direct the CELL and
CELL_TYPES headers to read their data from a separate file, thus all the
timesteps can read their CELL and CELL_TYPES data from the same file thus saving
disk space. Anybody know how to do this or have any other
suggestions?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
