Hi Adriano.
I always used the downloaded 3.8.1 binaries from the Paraview download
page. Following is the header of my ascii Tecplot File. I don't know
exactly for which Tecplot version they are formatted by our CFD
software, but they are readable by Tecplot 360, and I am using the same
Tecplot files that I used on my HP workstation.
TITLE = ""
VARIABLES = "x" "y" "z" "frictionvectorx" "frictionvectory"
"frictionvectorz" "frictionmodulus" "yplusmeshsize"
ZONE T="Window(s) : sf13257_blk_39", I=17, J=13, F=BLOCK
2.6397699E+01 2.6377867E+01 2.6358173E+01 2.6338665E+01
2.6319424E+01 2.6300579E+01
This is a multiblock dataset and the file contains many Zones (one for
each block). Note that the third dimension K is missing as each block is
a surface grid. Tecplot 360 assumes that K=1, and the PV 3.8.1 Tecplot
reader also does not care of the missing K dimension as it was working
on HP Redhat 5. On Dell CentOS, no error message, but the data are
incoherent.
Regards.

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?
Regards,
Adriano

Subject: [Paraview] Tecplot reader from PV 3.8.1 fails on Linux Redhat
CentOS
Hello, all.
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?
Best regards.
