    Giuseppe, Ravi;<br>
    <br>
    I have no knowledge of NEK-5000, nor the content of the results
    files produced by NEK-5000. However, in my use of ParaView, ParaView
    routinely provides moving and distorting meshes in my animations.
    For me, there are at least two ways that the moving and distorting
    meshes are produced:<br>
    <br>
    1) If there are vector displacement values supplied at the grid
    points, and ParaView's Warp filter is available (that is, not
    grayed-out), then the Warp filter will can be used with a scale
    value to reduce, amplify, or give true position of the grid,<br>
    <br>
    2) If one uses the EnSight-formatted simulation results file, and
    true-scale deformed mesh plots are the routine case, then EnSight's
    *.geom file can contain by time-step the mesh coordinates, and then
    without the use of ParaView's Warp filter, true-scale deformed
    meshes are obtained automatically. A small EnSight *.case file (an
    ASCII-formatted meta file the points to all of the binary files that
    contain the simulation results) is attached.<br>

                    <div>Hello Giuseppe,<br>

                    Thanks a lot for replying to my query. <br>
                    <br>
                  </div>
                  I understand that you are also facing the same issue
                  of only one time-step's mesh geometry begin loaded
                  when you try to use Paraview 4.1.0 to visualize your
                  post-processed data.<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                When you say using Praview 4.1.0 resolved your issue at
                the beginning of your email, do you mean you were able
                to visualize *.fld* data in Paraview? If so, can you
                please send an example database set and the metadata
                file?<br>
              </div>
              <br>
            </div>
            I am trying to visualize moving-mesh results for the basic
            problem of vortex-shedding past a cylinder moving with
            prescribed motion. The flow results are rendered as expected
            in Paraview for each time step, but the mesh appears
            stationary, corresponding to "firsttimestep", as you also
            observe too.<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          I appreciate your help, a set to example database will get me
          started on using Paraview for visualizing NEK-5000 data.<br>

              <div>although Paraview 4.1.0 solved my issue, now I am
                experiencing the same problem you report with some
                postprocessed data (but I have a fixed mesh). In my
                opinion this happens when the dataset has mesh
                information stored on each .f or .fld file. I think
                Paraview expects to have mesh information only in the
                first file of the dataset, and it is not behaving well
                if this is not the case.</div>
              <div>I suspect this because if I edit my .nek5000 file and
                change the value of firsttimestep setting it to n, then
                Paraview correctly visualizes the data of the n-th time
                step, but again it cannot display correctly the data of
                the following timesteps.</div>
              <div>I also can share some example dataset if it can help.</div>
