I believe you're looking for the TemporalStatistics filter. Specifically what you want maybe something along the lines of:

  temporal_statistics = TemporalStatistics(Input=vtk_data)
  temporal_statistics.ComputeAverage = 1
  temporal_statistics.ComputeMinimum = 0
  temporal_statistics.ComputeMaximum = 0
  temporal_statistics.ComputeStandardDeviation = 0

This should make the computation slightly faster as you don't need to compute and store the stddev, min, and max.

Hi  Everyone,


I'm very new to Paraview and python scripting. I have a series of time 
dependent .vtu files and would like to

   1.  Read the vtu files for each time step
   2.  calculate the magnitude of shear stress
   3.  calculate time-averaged shear stress for all the elements in my geometry
   4.  output/write a vtu file and load it back to paraview.

I think I have been able to successfully implement steps 1 and 2 (please see 
bellow)  but am completely clueless on how to do 3 and 4. Could anyone help me 
with this? I also should mention that I have tried the Temporal Statistics 
Filter and it seems to be working fine, but would like to have a way to do it 
with pythons scripting as well.


Thanks,
Parastou
