+Gmsh Ascii Post-Processing File Format
+======================================
+   
+    Any post-processing file is divided in several sections: one
+    format section (enclosed between $PostFormat/$EndPostFormat) and
+    (possibly multiple) post-processing views (enclosed between
+    $View/$EndView pairs). 
+
+    $PostFormat

+    - 'version-number' is a double precision number giving the version
+      of Gmsh to which the file is destined (e.g. 0.995)
+    - 'name' is the name of the view
+    - 'nb-time-step' is an integer giving the number of time steps in the view
