Yes, I have also generated an ASCII plot3D file, which I can get
paraview to read. 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.
There are a number of different plot3D formats and I have tried
reading a number of these into paraview, all with the same results.
Sincerely,
Rick

Tecplot's reader automatically detects the options of the plot3d
file - while Paraview does not: its most likely the case that an
option is set incorrectly.

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?
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.
Here is the error message I receive:

Also, are there any plans to improve paraview's ability to read
plot3D files?
