[Paraview] Animation / Loading of different files

[Paul tait]

I have a similar problem. I have a few hundred vtk legacy files I want to
load. What sort of file can I create to do this?

You can create a file describing the time-series as a collection: the
following syntax would do it:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"
compressor="vtkZLibDataCompressor">
 <Collection>
   <DataSet timestep="0" file="0000000-solution.vtu"/>
   <DataSet timestep="1" file="0000001-solution.vtu"/>
   <DataSet timestep="2" file="0000002-solution.vtu"/> .........//please
fill in the missing files
   <DataSet timestep="200" file="0000200-solution.vtu"/>
 </Collection>
</VTKFile>

when loading this file, paraview will be able to animate the different
timesteps.
