Why is this happening?</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I would like to confirm: I load a xmf file in PV with multiple hdf5 filenames declared, each carrying the solution at a different time step. When I apply a filter, say contour for example (as shown in the screenshot), this filter is applied to all the hdf5 files declared in the xmf file? So when I click on the play button in the animation bar, does PV shows me the same features for all the files at different time-steps?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your answers,</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Pradeep</div><div><br></div><div><img height="519" width="829" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="2f67a517-756f-47db-a921-3861942936c2" src="cid:0C78DC8F-1CE8-4D65-8F2B-702E44F283C7"><br><div><div>Le 18 janv. 2013 à 23:21, David E DeMarle <<a href="mailto:dave.demarle@kitware.com">dave.demarle@kitware.com</a>> a écrit :</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">See near top of: <a href="http://www.xdmf.org/index.php/XDMF_Model_and_Format">http://www.xdmf.org/index.php/XDMF_Model_and_Format</a><br>I think that either xinclude or xpath can reduce the size of the xdmf<br>file by acting like a macro that gets repeatedly expanded.<br><br>However, I vaguely remember that the last time I tried that approach<br>it didn't work right off the bat and I moved on to something else.
