[Paraview] VisitBridge - GMV Reader

[Terry Jordan]

Thanks for the reply.
 
It uses vtkAvtSTMDFileFormatAlgorithm.  As for the number of cycles that is not known by the file format or the user.  Each time step is an individual file, similar to how the vtu file series behaves.  In the file open dialog ParaView picks up all the files and groups them as a series.  However when I try to animate using "snap to timesteps" (or either of the two animations options), it doesn't animate.
 
Also I am implementing this reader using the VisitBridge.  I see no entries in the vtkVisitGMVReader.h or cxx (which is generated I believe from the Visit avt file) of the function GetTimes().

Hi Terry,

Make sure the VISIT_READER_TYPE in your CMakeLists is either STMD or MTMD.
Secondly we expect the reader to return the correct number of of time steps or cycles when we call GetCycles or GetTimes. If this isn't how your reader behaves can you explain
to me where you are storing the time and cycle information and I will add a bug report.

I have ported the GMV reader from VisIt into ParaView using the VisitBridge. It works properly for a single time step. However it will not support my transient data. GMV's file format has a file per timestep. Is there something I need to do to the reader to enable this feature?
Thanks in advance.
