[aspect-devel] Time dependent visualization

[Eric Heien]

It looks like the path is slightly off:

 ERROR: In /Source/ParaView/release/ParaView/VTK/IO/vtkXMLReader.cxx, line 219
vtkXMLPUnstructuredGridReader (0x11c6d9650): Error opening file /Users/eheien/Downloads/output/output/solution-00000.pvtu

If I move the .pvd file one directory up it works fine and reads the time steps correctly.
