Hello.<br>
<br>
Glad to see that you have solved your problem. It is true that you
need the Vislt software for reading Tecplot files, but this software
is included in the last Paraview release 3.98.1. I am using the last
binaries found on the Paraview download pages, and I can read
Tecplot binary or ASCII files without adding software.<br>
<br>
On older Paraview releases, the Vislt software was delivered as a
plugin that was not activated by default. In that case, you had to
go through the menu "Tools->Manage plugins", then select the
"Vislt" plugin, click the "Load selected" button, close Paraview,
and finally reopen Paraview to get the plugin activated. So, check
your Paraview version, and you may want to update it for the last
3.98.1 release.<br>
<br>
But take care: there are two Tecplot readers. If you open a (.tp)
ASCII Tecplot file, you will have the choice between "Tecplot Files"
or "Tecplot Files (Vislt)". I don't know exactly what are the
differences, but if a reader fails, try the other.<br>
<br>
But the Tecplot readers are not perfect, and that may explain your
ERROR message. Sometimes, with Tecplot ASCII files, I have to remove
from the header some options that the readers do not recognize. Try
to have the simplest headers without "exotic" options when using
ASCII files, and the readers will be OK.<br>
<br>
If you have again problems with (.plt) files, feel free to provide a
(short) sample file.<br>
<br>

Hello.<br>
<br>
Paraview 3.98.1 is able to read Tecplot ASCII or Binary files.<br>
<br>
For Tecplot (.plt) files, menu "File->Open" and choose
"Tecplot Binary <br>
Files (Vislt) (*.plt)" in the "Files of type" list before
selecting your <br>
(.plt) file.<br>
<br>
