[Paraview] Plotting Transient data

Hi,

I am trying to plot some transient data on an unstructed mesh using 
paraview.  I've found the thread here that advises writing each 
time-step to a separate file.

http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2007-June/005161.html

This works.  My problem is that (if I am understanding correctly), each 
file has to have the full mesh representation as well as the particular 
time-step data.  For small meshes this is not a problem, but some meshes 
I am looking at are very large.  It seems wasteful to have to re-define 
the mesh in each file.

Is there a way to separate the mesh data from the data sets so that I 
can define the mesh only once in one file and only have the data sets in 
the list of time-step files?

Thanks,
John
