[Paraview-developers] How to read time data in custom reader plugin

[Schlottke, Michael]

Hi folks,

How can I make my custom plugin reader be aware of the simulation time, which is stored in the solution files I want to read? Thanks to the vtkFileSeriesReader (?) plugin I can already read in a series of files (i.e. solution_000*) and traverse through them in the correct order. However, in the “time” field only the time step number is displayed, but not the actual simulation time. How can I make ParaView use the correct time? I guess it's something I have to add to the “RequestInformation(..)” method in my reader. Is anyone there who has already solved this problem for her/himself?

Thank you very much in advance

Michael

P.S.: I’m sure that this must have been asked here before, but I wasn’t able to find anything in the archives. If I missed something I’d greatly appreciate a link to the correct thread.
