Hello Jens,

the code in the CarpetHDF5 reader currently included in VisIt has will not let you use VisIt's functionality to treat foo.1.h5 foo.2.h5 foo.3.h5 as 3 timesteps in a timeseries.

If you are willing to compile your own reader and if you are using 2.12 still (and not 2.13 yet) then you can you the "multifile" branch of bitbucket.org/rhaas80/carpethdf5:

git clone -b multifile https://bitbucket.org/rhaas80/carpethdf5

which may bring this functionality back. You may have to create a .visit file to list the hdf5 file though. Those files consists of the first line reading !NBLOCKS no-of-mpi-ranks then the filenames of all the *.file_0.h5 files (no need to give file_1 etc) you want to include (see http://visitusers.org/index.php?title=.visit_file).

To install (from README.TXT):

0) Set your PATH environmental variable to include your "visit/bin" 1) run ./install 2) edit "CMake" tab and modify the C/C++ HDF5 paths if necessary. 3) save and close window

It currently fails to compile for me when trying to compile for 2.13, and I do not know enough of VisIt's build system to be able to quickly fix it.

Yours, Roland

Dear all,

I have made some use of hdf5_merger and hdf5_slicer to convert my 3D simulation output into hdf5 files which only contain the data of one iteration - for example in the format var.iteration.h5 (i.e. var.*.h5).

Visit recognizes this as a database, however, I am not able to use the time slider to jump between the numbered files. Is there any further conversion which I have to undertake? I would be glad to hear some best practices.

Thank you very much and my best!

Jens
