[Paraview] Setting a specific time in pvpython

[Cory Quammen]

Juan,

In newer versions of ParaView (5.5.2 was released just a couple days ago),
you can use the Force Time filter to lock a data set at a specific time. In
Python, this looks like

# create a new 'Force Time'

forceTime1 = ForceTime(Input=canex2)


# Properties modified on forceTime1

forceTime1.ForcedTime = 20.0


Here, I am forcing the data set to be at time 20.0.

See this post which may further address what you are trying to do:

Thanks!
Cory
