How to make animation with different .hdf files

ParaView Support
1

Hi,

I am trying to create an animation in ParaView using several .hdf files from a numerical simulation. The issue is that when I load multiple files, they are not linked together and the time for each one appears as “0”. Is there a way (e.g., a filter or another method) to assign fractional time values to these files so that I can generate an animation?

Hi there.

Am I understanding it right if say they you “simply” want to align these datasets over the time dimension?

Do ALL your dataset have a time dimension at all?

I think to remember that there is a filter for time alignment, but depending on size and complexity is would just write a PVD file to orchestrate time and, in it, assign it.

Are your .hdf files using VTKHDF? If so, you may want to look into VTKHDF native time support.
