Summary0009052: Ensight Case File "Data per Element" not loaded
DescriptionI am trying to import some data in Ensight case format into ParaView.
Among others (e.g. "vector per node"), my data contains "scalar per
element data". The files are ASCII-files.
Opening the case file in Paraview does not result in any error and
the cell data appears with the other data members in the Properties
tab of the Object Inspector. However, in the Information tab, the
element data does not appear (but e.g. the "vector per node" and also
"scalar per node" data apppears) and I can also not color using the
"scalar per element" data.
I tried it both with the "ensight"-format files as well as with
"ensight gold" format files. Also, I tested it with Paraview 3.4.0
(under both Ubuntu and Windows) and the development version 3.5.0
under Ubuntu.

The reported issue was actually not a real bug, but instead due to wrong file formats of the dataset used. Based on the following excerpted response from the reporter, This issue may be closed now.

===excerpted response from the reporter====
"... I have taken your hint and changed my script to ensight gold case format. ... so I started to compare my files with the elements.case in the VTKData/Data/EnSight/ directory. It turned out that I had a few leading blanks in front of some keywords (e.g. ' part' instead of 'part') and also the second comment line in the .geo-file was blank. After changing both issues, Paraview now runs perfectly fine."
