[vtkusers] RE: Multiple, time varying, unstructured grids.

[Rupert Shute]

Hi,
    I'm writing a vtk translator for an FEA code, the ultimate aim of which
is to visualise the results in Paraview. However, I've got a little stuck
...
So as to isolate cells types and to handle discontinuous cell data I have
opted to create a separate UGrid for each cell type (they range from 2 to 8
nodes).
Currently each UGrid is written out as a separate vtk file. This isn't very
efficient, I know, as it requires the points and point data to be replicated
for each cell type.
My real problem comes when try to handle multiple time steps. What I have is
a collection of UGrid vtk files for each time step, when what I want is a
single file for each time step, each containing a hierarchy of data. My
initial thoughts were to write a parallel VTK file for each time step, but
that doesn't appear to do what I want.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
Regards
Rupert.
