This is the code from the TecplotReader that handles the data connectivity
information:
while ( !( tok != "T" &&
tok != "I" &&
tok != "J" &&
tok != "K" &&
tok != "N" &&
tok != "Nodes" &&
tok != "E" &&
tok != "Elements" &&
tok != "ET" &&
tok != "ZONETYPE" &&
tok != "F" &&
tok != "D" &&
tok != "DT" &&
tok != "DATAPACKING" &&
tok != "VARLOCATION" )
These are your options for the header. Good luck!

Subject: Re: [Paraview] Reading ASCII Tecplot data
I've had no issues reading ASCII TECPLOT files into Paraview. We modified
our CFD code to generate ASCII TECPLOT files for post-processing in Paraview
because we were having issues reading binary PLOT3D files with Paraview. The
ASCII files are very large and slow to read though. Also we don't yet have a
good solution for generating derived variables from the raw data - we're
using a Python script to generate a series of Calculator filters.
I suggest reviewing the TECPLOT Data Format Guide (
<ftp://ftp.tecplot.com/pub/doc/tecplot/360/dataformat.pdf>
ftp://ftp.tecplot.com/pub/doc/tecplot/360/dataformat.pdf) for details on the
ASCII file format.
Our files look like this:
TITLE="TECPLOT Wall Output"
VARIABLES= "x" "y" "z" "density" "heat-flux" "wall-temp-out-surf"
"absolute-pressure" "x-wall-shear" "y-wall-shear" "z-wall-shear" "y-plus"
ZONE T="airfoil", i=362, j=69, k=1, DATAPACKING=BLOCK
2.42144130E-02 2.40880810E-02 2.39595771E-02 2.38230173E-02
2.36812476E-02 2.35372968E-02 2.33908389E-02 2.32443120E-02
2.30974443E-02 2.29516029E-02 2.28067115E-02 2.26650704E-02
2.25249752E-02 2.23834831E-02 ...
Each "surface" is indicated by a ZONE header with the zone title, i/j/k
counts, and DATAPACKING flag.

Hi everyone,
What is the current status of Paraview's ability to read in Tecplot data?
I've had mixed success reading in ASCII (usually *.DAT) files. For example,
many of the DAT files listed here
<http://people.sc.fsu.edu/%7Ejburkardt/data/tec/tec.html>
http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/tec/tec.html cannot be read in to
Paraview (3.8.0 64-bit, running on Ubuntu 10.10).
I'm pondering whether its worth writing a script to convert my DAT files to
VTU instead...
cheers,
Novak._______________________________________________
