Thank you for the tips. Yes , idea of having a pvd file to load  different
vtu files is good. I have tried that.  I was thinking that I can have kind
of multiblock data in same vtu file with each block with different data set.
I understand there is multiblock data format too for vtk files.  But dont
know the details and google search didnt give me enough information.

Excuse me for my ignorance. What do you meant by above?
