Hello Dear All.

I have solved a transient problem and imported the results into Paraview. Please I would like to know if there is a way to get the largest maximum value for any time step?  
In fact I expect to get a single value that will be the largest for any time step.  
Actually, for any time step, I can get the maximum value, what I want is to get the maximum of the maximums (sorry for the tautology).

Thank you in advance for helping me.

You can use the **Temporal Statistics** filter to find the maximum value over all time steps for each point or cell, and then look at the range of the data ( **Ranges** in the **Information** tab) to see the maximum value you want.
