You don't have to do this with ExodusII now.  If you run 10 timesteps and
the mesh only changes once at step 4 (for example), you could write the
first 3 solutions into one file and then next 7 solutions into another
file.  Your visualization package should handle this just fine.

Live Security Virtual Conference
Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and 
threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond. Discussions 
will include endpoint security, mobile security and the latest in malware 
threats. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfrnl04242012/114/50122263/
