Hi Richard, Was the version of ParaView you used on the HP workstation a self-compiled version or from downloaded binaries? Which version of Tecplot are the files formatted in, and these haven't changed between workstations? If possible, could you post a header of one of the Tecplot files?

I have been using Paraview 3.8.1 with the Tecplot reader without a problem on an old HP xw4200 workstation with Linux 64 Redhat 5. The only thing that did not work was the LIC plugin because my graphic card driver was too old. Today, my workstation has been replaced and I have now a Dell T3500 with Linux 64 Redhat CentOS, but the Tecplot reader fails. I get no error message, each array in the dataset is recognized with its correct name, but all values are completely wrong: each array (coordinates or CFD scalars) is in the range [0,9] or [-9,9] and the drawing in the 3D window looks like an aircraft after a crash! The problem appears both with PV 3.8.1 32 bits and PV 3.8.1 64 bits. I am using the binaries from the Paraview download page. Our CFD software produces only Tecplot files and I have a workaround with a small utility that can convert my ascii Tecplot Datasets into ascii VTM Datasets, and at least the LIC plugin works fine on theswe VTM datasets. But translating Tecplot datasets into VTM datasets is very annoying when I am using large CFD datasets for a full aircraft because it duplicates my data and it reduces my free disk space. Does anyone has an idea of what could be done to repair the Tecplot Reader on CentOS?
