I was able to find this thread that mentions that maybe the input data set needs to have a DATA_TIME_STEPS key, but I am not sure how to specify this with the point3d data. https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2016-February/036211.html
Is there a way just to use whatever mechanism the animate functionality uses?
