Yes, that would work. I could write me a script for renaming the files. But I would rather avoid that, as I get the result files from a project partner with the simulation time in the filename. So, they are named something like
file_t=0.0012.vtu
file_t=0.0024.vtu
...
As soon as t passes 1, ParaView sees a new series. In addition, the first timestep has a different filename, because it is a steady-state solution. I could remove the dots in the time values and rename the steady-state solution, but I would have to do it every time I get a new file series. Therefore, I have been looking for another solution.

Kind regards
Ian

Have you tried to name the files like this:
fileName.0000.vtu
fileName.0001.vtu
fileName.0002.vtu
...

ParaView should recognize them as a time series.

That typically worked for me (cannot test it though at the moment).

Hi all,

I want to load a series of VTU files, which are all stored in one
directory, but not numbered in a way that ParaView recognises them as
one series. In a python script, I can do it like this:

import glob
import paraview.simple as pv
pattern = 'directory/*.vtu'
files = glob.glob(pattern)
reader = pv.XMLUnstructuredGridReader( FileName=files )

The directory may be an input parameter to the script.
How can I transfer this into the GUI with the directory as a parameter?

I have looked at python macros, but obviously it is not possible to
define any parameters there.
Is it possible to run a script from the python shell with a parameter?
I also took a look at the Programmable Source. It should be a possible
solution, but I have not found much explanation of what to do.

Any ideas are welcome.
Kind regards
Ian
