I wonder know what's the magic behind Ensight. It loads the transient data range almost instantaneously. We just set a variable to paint the model and the color bar appears with a reasonable range for the transient data.
Ken, setting the range by the last time step is a bit dangerous isn't it? For example, in my case, I'm coloring a dam break fluid flow model by the velocity magnitude. In this problem we stop the simulation after the fluid rests in a static position. Therefore the last time step velocity should be almost zero. Renato.
