[Paraview] Movie using multiple grids at each time step

[David E DeMarle]

What is the specific problem when you give it your file? Without that it is
hard to say but I am _guessing_ that xdmf doesn't like the fact that it
can't pick which atomic grids to get for each time in the temporal
collection.

    <Grid Name="mesh1" GridType="Uniform">
      ...
      <Time Value="00000"/>
      ...
        vor_00000_445_coarsed.h5:/vor
      ...
    </Grid>
    <Grid Name="mesh1" GridType="Uniform">
      ...
      <Time Value="00000"/>
      ...
        vor_00000_455_coarsed.h5:/vor
      ...
    </Grid>

To fix, put each pair of atomic data sets inside a spatial collection in
the temporal one.
< temporal
  < spatial
     time=0
     < grid 1 >
     < grid 2 >
   >
  < spatial
     time=1
     < grid 1 >
     < grid 2 >
   >
  ...
>
