[Paraview] Adding time steps to a data set

[Salazar De Troya, Miguel]

Hello

I have several exodus files which are snapshots of an optimization history. Each snapshot reflects a design change and how it is gradually being improved and more optimal. I want to make a movie showing this optimization history.

What I have done so far is to add all the files in the pipeline showing the design field, add each file to the Animation View as a frame and play with the Opacity and the time intervals to show the design transitions. This looks alright, but I what I think that would look better is to use a Temporal Interpolator filter. For that I would need to have a time series. I tried modifying the file names and adjust them to the convention filename.e-s.001, filename.e-s.002, etc, but this doesn’t do anything. I think the reason is because the exodus files do not contain anything related to time. Is this correct? How could I add time to my exodus files within paraview?

Thanks
Miguel
