[Paraview] VTU vs. Exodus: "play" through list of files

[Weirs, V Gregory]

In exodus format, one generally writes all the steps (state1, state2, ...) in the same file. This relies on the mesh topology being the same for the entire set of steps.

Hi all,

I've had a bunch of VTU files (say, state1.vtu, state2.vtu,
state2.vtu,...) and using ParaView, it is very easy to display them in
a movie style, being able to "play", "pause", click through the frames
and so on.
I then recently switched to the Exodus format, the information in the
files remains exactly the same (say, state1.exo, state2.exo,
state2.exo,...). When opening each file individually, one is presented
with a slightly altered menu as opposed to VTU files (--makes
sense--), but it does not seem to be possible to "play" the sequence
of the files. ParaView would always iterate over "time" from 0 to 1 in
in steps of 1/9, instead of iterating over the files.

-- Is that something that cane be fixed, or am I ideally expected to
present the data to ParaView in a different way?

Cheers,
Nico
