I'm not sure if I understood you right, but it sounds like you have for
every timestep in that animation a dataset. We did this here too. At first
we loaded a single datasets into one reader for timestep 0 and loaded
another when the timestep changed. This took too long and then we
"pre-loaded" them at the beginning, so changing timesteps is faster. We did
this by loading every dataset into a own reader object.
