[Paraview] Visualization error

[Dan Lipsa]

Hi Jennifer,
The file for time step 0 does not have Displacement or other point arrays.
If I rename time step 0 to vtu_ I can load the rest of the files fine in
paraview. This is also reflected in the size of the files. The first one is
17MB, the rest around 40MB.
Dan
