<br>
I am using paraview to examine models relating to the solidification of metallic alloys. I would like to add a time-dependent parameter similar to AnnotateTime Source that uses as input a text file with, in column 1 the time, and in column 2 the time-dependent Numeric Value.<br>


<br>
Does anyone have ideas as to how to do this?<br>
Thank you<br>
