[Paraview] Animation in Paraview 3.2.1

[Hom Nath Gharti]

You have XML format .vtp files, so following steps should work for you.

1. Creat .pvd file pointing your file series like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian">
<Collection>
<DataSet timestep=" 1 " part="001" file="filename1.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 10 " part="001" file="filename2.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 20 " part="001" file="filename3.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 30 " part="001" file="filename4.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 40 " part="001" file="filename5.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 50 " part="001" file="filename6.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 60 " part="001" file="filename7.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 70 " part="001" file="filename8.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 80 " part="001" file="filename9.vtp" name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 90 " part="001" file="filename10.vtp"
name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
<DataSet timestep=" 100 " part="001" file="filename11.vtp"
name="Asmb:FRAME"/>
</Collection>
</VTKFile>

2. Then just open .pvd file and hit play button on animation bar.

However, if you have legacy VTK files, here is the excellent explanation:

Good luck!
