I am afraid I have not described what I want to have clear enough....

I have a 3-d not always regular mesh (we are working with mesh refinement).  On 
this mesh I have several variables, and again for each variable several time 
steps. To make plots of these variable, and also to create time series plots I 
would like to use VisIt, which uses XDMF as a reader for HDF5 data. 

In order to get the plots of VisIt correct, the HDF5 datasets must be 
populated as follows:

1) x coordinates
2) y coordinates
3) z coordinates
(all the coordinates as 3-d arrays)

and finally 4) the data.

How can I add seveals time steps of these data? Must I always add the 
coordinates in advance or not? Have I a possiblity to mark the time step?

The example given by Ekin only shows how to add one 3-d field, nothing about 
coordinates and about time steps. I hope my problem is more clear now ..

Best wishes
