Can you attach an example file that paraview reads differently compared to Tecplot?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 4:54 PM, Rick Burnes <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rick.burnes@mchsi.com">rick.burnes@mchsi.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

However, paraview does not correctly interpret the grid file. The geometry I create with my simple Fortran code is a cube. Paraview successfully reads both the ASCII grid and data files, but when I view it in paraview the geometry is incorrect. Tecplot does not have this problem with the same grid and data files. I am interested in any suggestions on the right combination of options to choose when reading this plot3D file into paraview, but I have not been able to find the correct combination of options to read a plot3D binary grid and data file. In addition, since paraview does not display the correct geometry when I have it read an ASCII version of the same grid and data plot3D files I believe there is more to this than just choosing the right options.<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Paraview appears to have a limited ability certain plot3D files that were likely generated from C/C++ code, but is unable to read plot3D files generated from Fortran code. When I open a Fortran generated plot3D file I select "plot3D" as the file type and then select the following three options: "binary file", "has byte count" and if needed "multigrid". I have tried various combinations of these options without success. I wrote a short and simple Fortran program to generate a small test plot3D grid file and data file, which I can successfully read with tecplot, but is not readable in paraview 3.6.1. Has anyone had success reading Fortran generated plot3D files with a recent version of paraview and if so, what plot3D format was used and what paraview file options were selected?<br>
<br> This is for paraview 3.6.1 on a mac running leopard. However, I run into the same problem on the windows version of paraview as well.<br> <br> Here is the error message I receive:<br> <br> ERROR: In /Users/kitware/ParaViewReleases/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/VTK/IO/vtkMultiBlockPLOT3DReader.cxx, line 783<br>
