<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,51,0)">I'd like to automate the generation of a time series plot of wave elevation in a given station from a 2D numerical wave tank model. For that I create a contour for water volume fraction associated to 0.5 value. With this ParaView shows the wave profile for the whole tank. As my goal is to track the wave elevation in one given longitudinal (x direction) station, I apply a slice filter to the previous contour line created. This slice filter creates a point so that I can take the y coordinate value along time and, in the end I got my wave elevation tracking.</div>

Paraview exports not only data for my slice (the only element that interests me) but for all other elements in the pipeline.</div>

I mean, my slice is always the last element in the pipeline but is not always the last one in the sequence of exported files. If the sequence was followed I could create a script to delete the files I don't need, but the way ParaView exports data cannot provide me control over this.</div>
