Example a/time: Time.

This example shows how to read in multiple sets of nodal values at different times and display these with a single definition of the elements. The graphics update with time keeper.

The comfile run by this example is as follows:

# Interactively displaying time varying meshes
# --------------------------------------------
#
# Read in the undeformed positions
gfx read node $example/undeformed_cube.exnode;
# Read in the deformed positions at different times
gfx read node $example/deformed_cube.exnode time 1;
gfx read node $example/deformed_cube3.exnode time 2;
gfx read node $example/deformed_cube2.exnode time 3;
#The differing values are all stored in an array.
gfx lis node 8;
#Read in a constant element definition.  These cannot
#currently change with time.
gfx read element $example/deformed_cube.exelem;
gfx read element $example/undeformed_cube.exelem;
