RES: [Paraview] Question on file format

No,

Actually with Ensight format you can use only one geometry file with several
variables per time step or use several geometries varying in time, each
geometry and time step with its results... no problem... the user can choose
according to your data set. Furthermore, if you need to write a parallel
model you can assembly your Ensight case files with an Ensight SOS file
(server-of-server) and ParaView will also load your geometry. In my opinion,
the Ensight's format is the easiest and most powerfulformat supported by
ParaView to deal with unstructured/transiente and parallel models.

That would force me to store the mesh in each file too wouldn't it?
thanks
