[vtkusers] Single VTK file containing time varying attributes

Hello Vtk users!

I am wondering if it is possible to merge XML VTK files containing the same
geometry with different time attributes into a single XML VTK file?


I would like the following PVD file to use only one vtp file that contains
my time dependant data.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<VTKFile byte_order="LittleEndian" type="Collection" version="0.1">
<Collection>
<DataSet file="f0000.vtp" group="" part="0" timestep="0.0"/>
<DataSet file="f0001.vtp" group="" part="0" timestep="1.0"/>
<DataSet file="f0002.vtp" group="" part="0" timestep="2.0"/>
</Collection>
</VTKFile>


My objective is to avoid having thousands of files for time simulation (One
for each time step).
Maybe VTK XML files are not suited for this? Is ExodusII more suited?

Thanks
