Hang on a second.  It looks like the nature of your question changed.  First, 
you said you had numbered file series (file1.vtu, file2.vtu,...) that did not 
represent a time series that you wanted all loaded at once.  Now you are saying 
you have two file series (sphere1.vtu, sphere2.vtu,... and facet1.vtu, 
facet2.vtu,...) that represent time series.

ParaView should automatically understand each set of files as its own time 
series.  Simple load up sphere..vtu and then facet..vtu with two separate open 
commands.  Then hit play to see the time series or save animation to write out 
an entire image series.

Ya exactly, the files are sphere1.vtu, facet1.vtu etc.  I want to make 
sphere1.vtu and facet1.vtu in to one frame,  that at time t=0, then sphere2.vtu 
and facet2.vtu in to a second frame, which is at the next time step etc.  and 
finally i want to make it as a continuous animation.   Is it possible?

Even if i want to open each one separately (one sphere and one facet and save 
as png file using Tools->Record Test Screenshots),  is it possible to code this 
task, may be using python, and execute in paraview?

thanks

I think ParaView is assuming that the files you're trying to open are from a 
time series.  This usually happens when the files are named like file1.vtu, 
file2.vtu,...  There are the vcr controls to animate if that's what you want to 
do.  Otherwise if you want all of the files loaded such that you can view them 
simultaneously you'll I think you'll need to open each one of them separately.

Hi to all

Recently I installed paraview in my debian system (3.2.2).  I have a large 
number of .vtu files, (spheres and facets).  When i try to open all all sheres 
together using paraview only the first one is coming.   But in the manual it is 
mentioned that a group of files can be opened together.   Why is this?

Also I want to create a video using these frames (Each frame contains sphere 
and facet).   Please help me...

thanks
