Well, if you don't want to rename the data files then you could use a PVD wrapper file: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats
Never created one myself, but you could write out one from paraview and modify it. But maybe somebody else has a better idea altogether... -Armin On Fri Mar 6 15:13:17 2015 GMT+0200, Ian Krukow wrote: > Yes, that would work.
