Hi Ken,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the response.<br>
It sounds like I may need to write a *.vtk output filter; maybe a
converter from exodus->*vtk.<br>
<br>
I know when I worked with Sierra (at Sandia) we would write a new file
each time the mesh adapted(file.e, file-s0002.e, file-s0003.e, ...);
the ensight8 tool automatically would read the suite of files and
automate stepping through the time steps in each file and switching to
the next file, etc...<br>
<br>
I will try the *vtk approach for now, however...<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

<pre wrap="">David,
You are using the exodus format in a way that it was not really
intended, and its confusing ParaView. The exodus format has the concept
of time built into it, and ParaView uses that mechanism to support time.
In addition, it is common for a large parallel simulation to dump out
multiple files, each with a spatial partition of the data. Thus,
ParaView will assume that your multiple files partition space and not
time. It will read in the geometry of all the files at once.
Your best bet is to either combine the files into a single using exodus'
built concept of time or to convert the files into a different format.
-Ken

I wish to view these files as an animation, so I have named them:

file_001.g
file_002.g

I was hoping that I could load the first file into paraview and that
animation would be automatic. This was the way paraview works with
