Hello Zhanping, thanks, it's working now! The files I uploaded have been in Ensight6 case file format and actually the ens_checker said the files are valid when checking only one timestep. However, I have taken your hint and changed my script to ensight gold case format. Again ens_checker said the resulting files were ok, but Paraview still didn't load the data. I could not find the file Test.case 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. Thanks again for your help!
Regards, Peter Hi Peter: A sample EnSight Gold dataset involving ASCII-based geometry, 'scalar per element', and 'vector per element' files may be found through VTKData/Data/EnSight/TEST.case. This CASE file references some associated files: ====== geometry: test.geo scalar per element: test.pressure.0001 vector per element: test.velocity.0001 ..... ====== You may update your CASE dataset based on this sample one. -Zhanping On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 12:30 AM, Zhanping Liu <zhanping.liu at kitware.com>wrote: > Hi Peter: > > The format of your geometry files (e.g., example0001.geo) is invalid. > Please go to pp.489 (the lower section), EnSight Manual v8.2 ( > http://vis.lbl.gov/NERSC/Software/ensight/docs82/UserManual.pdf) to find > the valid format for ASCII-based geometry files.
