My code works and paraview displays the 4 vtu files properly. Now I am trying to modify the <Piece Source="fields-0000-0000.vtu"/> path so that the field-0000-000*.vtu files do not have to be in the same directory as the .pvtu file. I managed to successfully implement the path changes for accessing the .vtu files when they are either one directory up or down</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size:
