vtkXdmfReader select grid in Timeseries

Hi all,

I am rather new to VTK and especially the XDMF reader.

I’m trying to read a file that contains 5 timesteps.

I was able to read it with vtkXdmfReader but I would like to know how to access the data for a given timestep (say the third).

Thanks in advance for your help!

from vtkmodules.vtkIOXdmf2 import vtkXdmfReader

reader = vtkXdmfReader()

reader.SetFileName("checkpoint.xdmf")

reader.UpdateInformation()

print(reader.GetNumberOfGrids())  # prints 5

print(reader.GetNumberOfGridArrays())  # prints 5

print(reader.GetOutputDataObject(0))  # don't really know what it does...
