improve extraction of exodus global variables
Improved code to extract global temporal variables generated by exodus reader.
-
vtkExodusIIReader
marks global temporal variables specially. This helps downstream filters recognize these arrays as such. - Deprecating
vtkExtractTemporalFieldData
, the filter is very exodus specific hence replacing it withvtkExtractExodusGlobalTemporalVariables
. -
vtkExtractExodusGlobalTemporalVariables
support extract global temporal arrays (similar to vtkExtractTemporalFieldData). Additionally, it can handle restart files (a concept supported in ParaView). Addresses paraview/paraview#17851 (closed).
extractGlobalTemporalVariables
doesn't test for restart files yet
since VTK reader doesn't support restart files. We'll add a test in
ParaView for the same.
