I had been operating under the assumption that in a MB or PDC VTKHDF dataset some blocks could be temporal and others not (without a Steps group). However, I’m getting import errors (with MB) from paraview. Is it required that all blocks have a populated Steps group or none do? I’m already aware that there must be a common time line among all (temporal) blocks.
Actually, I read this now in the 2.6 spec:”Not all blocks need to define a Steps group, if a block doesn’t have it, a temporal data array will be considered to be a “partial” array.” I’m getting this with MB in both 6.0 and 6.1-RC1. And with PDC too. I’ll submit an issue. The error is “Cannot open Steps/PartOffsets”
That’s my fault what I write in the spec isn’t what we test… thanks for the issue : https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/19963
For now, indeed each block need to define the Step group, I’ll see what I can do for that and I’ll let you know
