Hi Aron I tried your method and created the trace. When I go to the python shell and run that python macro, it says that the custom filter I had created does not exist. My custom filter consists of 2 calculator filters, each calculating different things. To create that custom filter, I selected both the calculators on the pipeline browser, right click-> create custom filter->finish.
To create my python macro, I first load up my .vtu files in the pipeline browser, hit apply, then I start trace. I add my custom filter, follow Kenneth's procedure to obtain the plot over time, then I hit Stop trace. Then in the script generated, file->save as macro.
