<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have many tvu files, each one representing a timestep, and want to display the right time in Paraview instead of the timestep number. Looking for information, I have found a presentation “Working with time in Paraview” here: <a href="http://www.vgtc.org/PDF/slides/2008/visweek/tutorial6_biddiscombe_working.pdf"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.vgtc.org/PDF/slides/2008/visweek/tutorial6_biddiscombe_working.pdf</u></font></a>.
One possibility sems to be to create a file with extension pvd, containing a list of all vtu files with their associated time, like this:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"></div>
<div> <Collection></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep="0" group="" part="0" file="case_var0001.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“10" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0002.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“20" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0003.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“30" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0004.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“40" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0005.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“50" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0006.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“60" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0007.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“70" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0008.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“80" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0009.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“90" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0010.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“100" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0011.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“110" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0012.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“120" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0013.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“130" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0014.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“140" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0015.vtu"/></div>
<div> <DataSet timestep=“150" group="" part="0" file=“case_var0015.vtu"/></div>
<div> </Collection></div>
<div></VTKFile></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have tried that, but it apparently does not work like that. I get the error message attached below (ParaVoew 3.14.0, WIN XP). </div>
<div>What have I done wrong?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for a hint,</div>
<div> </div>
