[Paraview] Creating animation from timeSeries of data

[Mike Jackson]

The way I have done this recently is the following:

Name all the files so that they are increasing in numerical order such as:

Time-001.vtk
Time-002.vtk
....
Time-200.vtk

Then in ParaView, open the First TimeStep.. ParaView automagically figures
out that the file is some sort of timeseries. When you click on the "Play"
button in the Animation toolbar then ParaView will step through each file.

This seems to work for me.. Maybe it is completely accidental?
