Martina,
Given that you have 20+/- datum sets (and one geometry?), you might be
able to construct a pseudo time sequence by labeling the files:
myjob001.vtu, myjob002.vtu, myjob003.vtu, ...
(Note. The file-ending "*.vtu" refers to an XML-formatted datum set)
ParaView will assume they are a time-sequence and you can use the
animation to perform the identical display processing on each image,
When you are satisfied with the results, save the animation as *.pgn
images; you will get one frame in each datum set.
If you already have a naming convention for the *.vtu files that you
want to keep, then you can use a *.pvd meta-file to specify the
pseudo-time sequence, see the attached *.pvd file as an example. (The
part-tag allows sub-datum-sets; in my case there are different
materials. The name-tag is currently a do-nothing; it is not required.)

Hi Sam,
I wasn't aware of the "Group Dataset" Filter, you are right in the
case of Cliping or Sliceing it's doing sort of the job (eventhough I
haven't managed to get the translation right), but already for the
Isolines or PlotOnIntersectionCurve it gets difficult. (And I have
actually not only one datafile, but around 20 which I would like to
produce the same figures from and grouping them all together gets a
mess!)
Similar to your idea I tried it now with AppendAttributes, that still
leaves the work of copy-ing by hand (at least I do not know how to do
that otherwise) the variables them I'm interested from each dataset to
another name, i.e. velocity -> velocity-dataset1, velocity ->
velocity-dataset2 and so on beforehand, but then I can use Clips or
Slices in one figure for each of the datasets. But since I then have
different variable names, it does again not work for the
Isocontours... PlotOnIntersectionCurves however seems to be doing ok.
It also would mean to apply AppendAttributes to around 20files, I'm
not quite sure if that's a good way to go.
I'd be happy about any other ideas! What is the "copy" function
supposed to do anyhow? After all this menu-item exists when I do
right-mouse-click on a filter?
Martina
Martina, Regarding your question, I do
not do this routinely, but it looks to me that if you hold down the
Ctrl-key and select two datum two sets and then apply the Group Datasets
filter you get a single combined datum stream to which can apply the
same filter to both using a single common parameter specification. In a
single view, this may require a coordinate translation of one datum set
with respect to the other in order that they are not overlaid (use the
Transform filter on one of the datum sets before grouping). In addition,
it is likely that the point and cell variable sets for both objects need
to be the same (except for the values). Likely some care will be needed
for the Slice and Clip filters because you will only have a "single"
object after grouping. Hope this helps. Sam On 11/18/2013 1:39 AM,
