I called VTKIO(mesh).write_equation_systems (file_name.str(), equation_systems) in a libmesh example code to dump an adaptive mesh with solutions to VTK files. I ran three time steps and dumped the mesh every time step. I got those files
out.001.pvtu out.002.pvtu out.003.pvtu out_0.vtu I am not sure when out_0.vtu was generated since I did not have such file name. I found out.001.pvtu~out.003.pvtu had the SAME content like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <VTKFile type="PUnstructuredGrid" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian" header_type="UInt32" compressor="vtkZLibDataCompressor"> <PUnstructuredGrid GhostLevel="1"> <PPointData> <PDataArray type="Float64" Name="u"/> </PPointData> <PCellData> <PDataArray type="Int32" Name="libmesh_elem_id"/> <PDataArray type="Int32" Name="subdomain_id"/> <PDataArray type="Int32" Name="processor_id"/> </PCellData> <PPoints> <PDataArray type="Float64" Name="Points" NumberOfComponents="3"/> </PPoints> <Piece Source="out_0.vtu"/> </PUnstructuredGrid> </VTKFile> I also found out_0.vtu only contained the mesh of the last time step. So, how can I get the mesh every time step so that I can see how the mesh is adaptively refined in ParaView?
