Zach, With recent changes to ParaView (March 15, 2017), I was able to "open" the file in the most recent development version of ParaView without getting stuck in an infinite loop, but I did get the following warnings:
Warning: In /Users/cory.quammen/src/paraview/VTK/IO/Geometry/vtkTecplotReader.cxx, line 1795 vtkTecplotReader (0x1350d2c00): /Users/cory.quammen/Desktop/oneram6-prism_tec_boundary.dat; Tecplot zone record parameter 'SOLUTIONTIME' is currently unsupported.

The read fails, but hopefully this tells you what is going on. HTH, Cory On Tue, Apr 11, 2017 at 5:49 PM, Zach Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Christopher, > > Sorry, about the link.
