Thanks, that looks promising.

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

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 .






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
