David.
Thank you for the info about the new VisItBridge Tecplot reader.
But I cannot test it now because I have not all required libraries to
rebuild PV from source and I am not the administrator to install them,
so I will wait for the next PV binaries release.
But if someone has tried to read Tecplot Unstructured grids in ASCII
format, it would be kind if he could provide a sample file (or just the
ZONE header) so as I could try to modify the headers in my files.

I don't know the answer to most of the questions in this email.
I did however just push the latest VisItBridge tecplot reader into
ParaView master. That should make at least a few more tecplot files
readable.

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
