Hey Guys,

I am having trouble with exchanging Ensight data in batch mode with this macro:

#### import the simple module from the paraview
from paraview.simple import *
import os

case = "Case_1"
rpm = 5500
start = 270

print "Case: " + case

### load template
servermanager.LoadState("LayOut_cell_check.pvsm")

### change source
eNSICASE = FindSource('ENSI.CASE')
SetActiveSource(eNSICASE)
eNSICASE.CaseFileName = '/.../' + case + '/ENSIGHT/ENSI.CASE'

# update animation scene based on data timesteps
animationScene = GetAnimationScene()
animationScene.UpdateAnimationUsingDataTimeSteps()

#animationScene.GoToFirst()
PlayMode = "Snap To TimeSteps"

for t in range(272, 400, 2):
    print 'CA: ' + str(t)
    animationScene.GoToNext()

If I run this with the gui of paraview everything seams to be ok. But in batch mode with /.../ParaView-5.0.0/bin/pvbatch --use-offscreen-rendering writeScreen_batch.py there will be a problem with the ensight data. I assume there is a problem with the new times which is maybe not refreshed.
