[Paraview] Vtu file issue

[Moreland, Kenneth]

ParaView has no direct mechanism to recognize those multiple variables as a time series.  The most straightforward way to do something like that would be to create a filter that reports a time series based on the variables it encounters in RequestInformation and then selects the appropriate variable (with proper name change) in RequestData.

Unless you are already developing C++ plugins, the quickest way to develop such a filter would be to use the Python programmable filter.

Hi,

I am dealing with a set of data with vtu format. There is a variable changing over time, but somehow its value was stored separately at each time instance and with different variable names. Say the variable is x, and at each time instance its value was stored with x_001, x_002,x_003,....x_100. So now I am wondering how to combine these to a single variable x with time indices in Paraview. Your input is highly appreciated!
