Hi all. As I now figured out, the problem with my real timestep values seems to be the decimal separator. Strangely my ParaView 3.4 installation seems to require a comma as decimal separator. So
<DataSet timestep="0,5e-5" group="0" part="0" file="hour_5121_fall_se0000000.vtp"/> is interpreted correctly and gives the time value 0.5e-5. The idea of using a comma as decimal separator came into my mind using the "Annotate Time" filter, which shows comma separated values in my installation. 2009/1/29 Christian Wellmann <[email protected]>: > Thanks Stephen and John for your quick answers. > Unfortunately any changes to the group and/or part tag not seem to > solve the problem. > What is strange is that, although ParaView seems to read an int value, > it is able > to handle > > <DataSet timestep="-922337203685477580825263735124730" group="" > part="0" file="sp_test0000000.vtp"/> > <DataSet timestep=" 922337203685477580825263735124730" group="" > part="0" file="sp_test0002498.vtp"/> > > correctly, what gives me > > Index Value > 0 -9.22337e+32 > 1 9.22337e+32 > > in the time table although the values are out of range of any standard > integer representation I guess. > However, as a workaround -considering the large range of representable > integer values- I will simpliy > change my scale to micro- or even nano-seconds to get integer time values. > > > 2009/1/29 John Biddiscombe <[email protected]>: >> Christian >> >> <?xml version="1.0"?> >> <VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"> >> <Collection> >> <DataSet timestep="1.08267" file="1800_001-static-00000.vtmb"/> >> <DataSet timestep="1.08367" file="1800_001-static-00001.vtmb"/> >> <DataSet timestep="1.08467" file="1800_001-static-00002.vtmb"/> >> ... >> <DataSet timestep="1.34967" file="1800_001-static-00267.vtmb"/> >> </Collection> >> </VTKFile> >> >> This works for me.
