I have a series of muti-domain files at several time steps that I am
trying to animate. The data are in legacy VTK format with domains
linked together by a .pvtk file. The individual files are named
according to type, timestamp, and domain. For example, for a species
mass fraction dump on a cutting plane, the files are named:
vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0002
where pl.01 is for cutting plane #1, 0000 is the time stamp, and .p0001
is for the first domain. Thus, for a single time stamp, the .pvtk file
(vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.pvtk) looks like:
<File version="pvtk-1.0"
dataType="vtkUstructuredGrid"
numberOfPieces="143" >
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0002.vtk" />
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0004.vtk" />
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0006.vtk" />
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0007.vtk" />
.
.
.
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0245.vtk" />
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0246.vtk" />
<Piece fileName="vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.p0256.vtk" />
</File>
The reason that the domains are numbered funny is that only 143 of my
256 domains are sliced by cutting plane 1.
I then have a .pvtk file for each time stamp. Thus for the first 5 time
stamps I have:
vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0000.pvtk
vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0001.pvtk
vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0002.pvtk
vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0003.pvtk
vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.0004.pvtk
My questions are:
1) How do I get Paraview to read in all of the time stamped files
(.pvtk) at the same time? When I see them in the Open File dialog, they
show up as a database:
+vdmp_smf_01_pl.01.000*
which I can expand to show the individual files. But if I select the
database, all that opens is the 0000 time stamp file. When animated,
nothing happens.
2) How do I animate these?
3) How do I assign a real time to a particular time stamp, such as 0001
= 5e-2 seconds?
