[aspect-devel] Time dependent visualization

[Wolfgang Bangerth]

All,
deal.II has just gotten a piece of code that allows to describe which 
files of a simulation belong together in the time stepping order. To 
this end, we now generate a file output/solution.pvd that should look 
like this:

<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" ByteOrder="LittleEndian">
   <Collection>
     <DataSet timestep="0" group="" part="0" 
file="output/solution-00000.pvtu"/>
     <DataSet timestep="393810" group="" part="0" 
file="output/solution-00001.pvtu"/>
     <DataSet timestep="629130" group="" part="0" 
file="output/solution-00002.pvtu"/>
     <DataSet timestep="827921" group="" part="0" 
file="output/solution-00003.pvtu"/>
     ...

The idea is that with paraview you should be able to loop through all 
timesteps at once and even get the simulation time shown correctly. I've 
just put this into Aspect as well but I don't have Paraview installed 
here -- can someone try this out for me and let me know if something 
doesn't work?

Best
  W.
