Dear ParaView Community,
I am working with a dataset for animations where each time step is stored in its own folder, and I am struggling with the best way to manage and animate this data in ParaView.
The time steps stores in its own folders:
The vtk files inside the folders:
The content of the .visit files:
My current method involves manually copying and renaming files from their respective folders into a single directory to create a coherent time sequence for animation. For instance, I use the following command to rename and move vtk files:cp out03/vtk/vtk.ts0000000/3d-curves.vtk animation/3d_curves_ts0000000.vtk
However, as the dataset is extensive, this process is very time-consuming.
Is there a more efficient method to handle such datasets directly within ParaView, or perhaps a scripting solution that could automate the renaming and organizing of these files? Besides, I have no idea about what can the .visit file do. Any guidance or examples of scripts that could help automate this process would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
