Re: [Paraview] Load series of VTK files

Thank you for your suggestions! Still: No matter which one I choose, I would have to edit every new set of files, before I can load it into ParaView. I have now set up a (very small) pvypthon module vtuseries.py, which looks like this: import os,glob import paraview.simple as pv def

Well, if you don't want to rename the data files then you could use a PVD wrapper file: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats Never created one myself, but you could write out one from paraview and modify it. But maybe somebody else has a better idea altogether... -Armin On

[Paraview] Load series of VTK files

2015-03-06 Thread Ian Krukow
Hi all, I want to load a series of VTU files, which are all stored in one directory, but not numbered in a way that ParaView recognises them as one series. In a python script, I can do it like this: import glob import paraview.simple as pv pattern = 'directory/*.vtu' files =
