Hello,
The Tecplot reader is very usefull, but it should be further improved
because many Tecplot files (written by the user according to Tecplot
format specifications or written by Tecplot itself !) still cannot be read !
I am usually using Structured grid, and the Tecplot reader works fine
for most of my ASCII files, except for those that are written by Tecplot
itself and that contain the STRANDID and SOLUTIONTIME tokens that are
currently unsupported. I have to remove these unsupported tokens from
all ZONE headers before reading with Paraview. May I suggest to ignore
those unsupported tokens with just a warning rather than stopping reading ?
Another problem is with Unstructured grids. Reading the mail of Beichuan
Yan (subject =Paraview 3.14.1 Tecplot Reader Errors ), I tried to read
several ASCII Tecplot files with unstructured grids. Some of my files
made Paraview freeze, other could not be read and gave many error
messages such as :
"The record type XXX found in the file is unknown"
where xxx may be some coordinate data or something else.
It seems that the reader is bad positioned in the file because one or
more token in the "ZONE" header are not recognized.
Looking at the reader source file, I tried to modify the header of
simple Tecplot files with TRIANGLE or QUADRILATERAL elements, but I
never succeeded in identifying which token is not recognized.
So, at that time, is the Tecplot reader really able to read unstructured
grids or not ? If yes, could someone provide a sample Tecplot file for
unstructured grid that Paraview can read ? This would help identifying
what is not well recognized in the true Tecplot format.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards
