[Paraview] Visualization error

[Jennifer Mary Tarnowski]

Hmm. I knew that time step 0 shouldn't have any info (based on how the
model works). Didn't realize that the first file could affect how the
others are read in. So perhaps if I don't read in time step 0, steps 2 and
3 will be okay too. Renaming the first file works too.

Thank you!
