Hello,<br>
<br>
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 !<br>
<br>
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 ?<br>
<br>
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 :<br>
<br>
"The record type XXX found in the file is unknown"<br>
<br>
where xxx may be some coordinate data or something else.<br>
<br>
It seems that the reader is bad positioned in the file because one
or more token in the "ZONE" header are not recognized.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance for your help.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
