Hi,
 
I'm trying to make an animation of transient data measured in the
impeller and diffuser of a pump. I've written my velocity vector data in
vtk-files - one for each time-step/angular position of the pump
impeller. The filenames are anim_001.vtk, anim_002.vtk......anim_N.vtk
and loading the files and animating works like a charm (I'm using the
CVS version). 
 
Now, I also have a VRML-representation (due to the kind help of Charles
Law) of my impeller geometry which I would like to include in the
animation. I would like to be able to rotate this geomtry a certain
angle (corresponding to my time-step) for each time I load a new
vtk-time step - is there a way to do that?
 
If it is possible to do it by commands in the animation script editor I
would be grateful if anybody could give me a hint in the right
direction!
 
Regards,
Ulrik
