Yes, you can use the xdmf format file, and use the XPath,

"XPath, allows for elements in the XML document and the API to reference specific elements in a document"

then if your data is realy big, you can use the hdf5 format inside your Xdmf to store the information in binary/compress .
 


Attachment: dummy.xdmf
Description: Binary data


in the example only the topology and geometry of the first timestep is written.

Hi,

I am trying to plot some transient data on an unstructed mesh using paraview.  I've found the thread here that advises writing each time-step to a separate file.

http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2007-June/005161.html

This works.  My problem is that (if I am understanding correctly), each file has to have the full mesh representation as well as the particular time-step data.  For small meshes this is not a problem, but some meshes I am looking at are very large.  It seems wasteful to have to re-define the mesh in each file.

Is there a way to separate the mesh data from the data sets so that I can define the mesh only once in one file and only have the data sets in the list of time-step files?

Thanks,
John
