Hi, Paul, Thanks for the pointers.

Their current code can produce this in either ascii or inline binary. I am currently trying to convert this to appended binary (ultimately to pvtu with appended binary). I'm having trouble, which I now believe may stem from the data containing VTK_POLYHEDRON. I have a simple python script that I use with pvbatch to do this conversion, but I see the same results when I load the original data set with ParaView (4.1.0, in client/server mode), and use the Save Data option and save as vtu. I get the same results for each input format (ascii or inline binary), and output format (ascii, binary, appended). The first few lines of the original vtu file look like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <VTKFile type="UnstructuredGrid" version="0.1" byte_order="BigEndian"> <UnstructuredGrid> <Piece NumberOfPoints="1699427" NumberOfCells="384126"> The first few lines of the converted file look like this: offset="177748206"ructuredGrid" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"> <UnstructuredGrid> <Piece NumberOfPoints="1699427" NumberOfCells="384126" > Something is clearly getting jumbled at the beginning of the converted file. If I manually edit the header of the file to read <VTKFile type="UnstructuredGrid", there are still problems with the file. In that case the info tab in ParaView reports the correct number of points and cells, but no geometry is drawn. I have successfully converted other vtu files using this same method. The primary difference that I've been able to identify is that the files that are not converting happily contain VTK_POLYHEDRON elements. Has anyone else seen similar behavior?
