In exodus format, one generally writes all the steps (state1, state2, ...) in the same file. This relies on the mesh topology being the same for the entire set of steps.<BR>

<BR>
I've had a bunch of VTU files (say, state1.vtu, state2.vtu,<BR>
state2.vtu,...) and using ParaView, it is very easy to display them in<BR>
a movie style, being able to "play", "pause", click through the frames<BR>
and so on.<BR>
I then recently switched to the Exodus format, the information in the<BR>
files remains exactly the same (say, state1.exo, state2.exo,<BR>
state2.exo,...). When opening each file individually, one is presented<BR>
with a slightly altered menu as opposed to VTU files (--makes<BR>
sense--), but it does not seem to be possible to "play" the sequence<BR>
of the files. ParaView would always iterate over "time" from 0 to 1 in<BR>
in steps of 1/9, instead of iterating over the files.<BR>
<BR>
-- Is that something that cane be fixed, or am I ideally expected to<BR>
present the data to ParaView in a different way?<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Nico<BR>
