Hi Oliver,<br><br>Since you are already writing vts files, it would be very easy to load them in ParaView 3 as a time series. All you have to do is to write a meta-file that points to your vts files. This is an xml file with .pvd extension. It should look like this:
<br><br><?xml version="1.0"?><br><VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian" compressor="vtkZLibData<br>Compressor"><br> <Collection>
<br> <DataSet timestep="0" file="Foo_001.vts"/><br> <DataSet timestep="1" file="Foo_002.vts"/><br>...<br> </Collection><br></VTKFile><br><br>The value in timestep attribute is a float and should be the time value for that timestep.

used to automatically enable the filename as a parameter for an animation. Apparently
this feature is not supported in the current release, but will be back in the
future. Is there a better way to deal with transient data files? What would be
the recommended best practice to create an animation from a transient simulation?</span></font></p>
