Hello.

If you are using I=20, J=2 and K=1, you should have 20x2x1=40 points in your mesh (it is a surface), so you should have 40 lines after the ZONE line. Paraview finds only 20 lines and assumes zero for the 20 missing values. So you have to repeat your 20 data lines at the end of your file.

Also, you should not have all X,Y,Z variables to zero because Paraview cannot display the mesh. For instance, you may define a surface grid assuming X=Distance for all your data. Then you should have Y=0 for the first 20 data lines, and Y=non zero constant for the next 20 data lines while keeping same X, Distance and Temperature values as in the first 20 lines. The variable Z may be kept to zero for all lines. Thus, your mesh will look like a rectangle.

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your answer. Indeed, if I modify the file to

TITLE = "Example: Simple XY Plot"
VARIABLES = "X", "Y", "Z",  "Distance", "Temperature"
ZONE T="Only Zone", I=20, J=2, K=1, F=POINT
0.0   0.0   0.0   0.0       850.9
0.0   0.0   0.0   0.022     790.1
0.0   0.0   0.0   0.051     554.0
0.0   0.0   0.0   0.069     540.0

0.0   0.0   0.0   0.5656    442.0
0.0   0.0   0.0   0.6423    333.5
0.0   0.0   0.0   0.6604    300.4

0.0   0.0   0.0   1.3       200.0

Paraview can read the file. But this poses a new problem: if I use J=1, K=1, Paraview cannot read it again, but if I use J=2, K=1 or vice versa Paraview can read it, but it shows the 20 values plus 20 zeros after it. Is there a way to go around this?

Cheers

    Hi all,

    I'm still struggling with Paraview to read files in Tecplot format. I'm
    using some examples from this site:

    http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/tec/tec.html  
<http://people.sc.fsu.edu/%7Ejburkardt/data/tec/tec.html>

    The 3D examples are read correctly in Paraview, but the examples

    http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/tec/simpxy.dat  
<http://people.sc.fsu.edu/%7Ejburkardt/data/tec/simpxy.dat>

    and

    http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/data/tec/simpxy2.dat  
<http://people.sc.fsu.edu/%7Ejburkardt/data/tec/simpxy2.dat>

    are read but can't be plotted. All the statistics are N/A (Type, Number of
    Cells, Number of Points), no bounds are recognized, and the Spreadsheet
    view is empty. Is this a bug?
    Hello.

    Paraview is a 3D software that is always expecting a mesh (surface
    or volume) with the three X, Y, Z variables for points
    coordinates. Your simpxy.dat file has only two data variables
    (Distance and Temperature), that is why it cannot build points and
    cells and shows N/A (Not available). Try to add coordinates of a
    grid to your file, and you should be able to plot Temperature
    against Distance.
