nate is on a distinguished road
Hello,

I am not very experienced in ParaView and face a strange problem.
When we first used the trace tool on animations (like the can.ex2 example), it would save a .py that contains all time steps:

Code:
from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

can_ex2 = ExodusIIReader( FileName=['/home/***/Downloads/ParaViewTutorialData/can.ex2'] )

AnimationScene1 = GetAnimationScene()
can_ex2.NodeMapArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.FaceVariables = []
can_ex2.ElementVariables = []
can_ex2.XMLFileName = 'Invalid result'
can_ex2.FaceSetResultArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.PointVariables = []
can_ex2.FaceSetArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.FaceMapArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.FileRange = [0, 0]
can_ex2.SideSetResultArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.ElementSetArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.EdgeVariables = []
can_ex2.FilePrefix = '/home/***/Downloads/ParaViewTutorialData/can.ex2'
can_ex2.FilePattern = '%s'
can_ex2.EdgeSetArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.SideSetArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.GlobalVariables = []
can_ex2.NodeSetArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.NodeSetResultArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.ElementMapArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.EdgeSetResultArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.EdgeMapArrayStatus = []
can_ex2.ElementSetResultArrayStatus = []

AnimationScene1.EndTime = 0.004299988504499197
AnimationScene1.PlayMode = 'Snap To TimeSteps'

can_ex2.PointVariables = ['DISPL', 'VEL', 'ACCL']
can_ex2.ElementVariables = ['EQPS']
can_ex2.GlobalVariables = ['KE', 'XMOM', 'YMOM', 'ZMOM', 'NSTEPS', 'TMSTEP']
can_ex2.ElementBlocks = ['Unnamed block ID: 1 Type: HEX Size: 4800', 'Unnamed block ID: 2 Type: HEX Size: 2352']
