The ExodusI/ExodusII database has from its beginning supported
multiple time steps. However, it is structured with a one-time
write of the time=0.0 mesh data, and then successive point, cell
and global (aka 'domain') datum sets written time step after time
step. If in the optimization, the structure for the mesh has been
altered, then the approach you used up to now may be your only
answer. <br>
<br>
If the mesh structure has stayed the same from optimization step
to optimization step and you have saved the optimization changes
as point displacements, and if you have access to source coding,
you might be able to repeat the optimization steps and write out
into a single ExodusI/ExodusII database the sequence of
optimization steps as time steps appended to the to the database.
I am not in a position to tell you the subroutine calls needed to
successively close and open an ExodusI/ExodusII database. You
might find that information here:<br>

<div>I have several exodus files which are snapshots of an
optimization history. Each snapshot reflects a design change and
how it is gradually being improved and more optimal. I want to
make a movie showing this optimization history.</div>

<div>What I have done so far is to add all the files in the
pipeline showing the design field, add each file to the
Animation View as a frame and play with the Opacity and the time
intervals to show the design transitions. This looks alright,
but I what I think that would look better is to use a Temporal
Interpolator filter. For that I would need to have a time
series. I tried modifying the file names and adjust them to the
convention filename.e-s.001, filename.e-s.002, etc, but this
doesn’t do anything. I think the reason is because the exodus
files do not contain anything related to time. Is this correct?
How could I add time to my exodus files within paraview?</div>
