ParaView then interprets the files as a sequence which can be played with video controls. VTK files are typically written into time directories within a named "function" sub-directory of the case 'postProcessing' directory, e.g. 'postProcessing/patchSurface/0.1/patch.vtk', where 'patchSurface' is the function sub-directory and '0.1' is the time directory. Series files use the same prefix as the VTK files and are written into the function sub-directory, i.e. 'postProcessing/patchSurface/patch.vtk.series' in our example.
