<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
I also tried to use Paraview in order to read Tecplot data (see
the question I asked on Feb, 4 : <a
href="http://www.mail-archive.com/paraview@paraview.org/msg17756.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/paraview@paraview.org/msg17756.html</a>).
Richard is right about the readers in version 3.98. There are
indeed 3 of them : "Tecplot Files" (ASCII) is the original one I
guess, and there are also the "VisIt" plugins, "Tecplot Files
(VisIt)" (ASCII) and "Tecplot Binary Files (VisIt)" (binary). No
need to install any other software, it should work out-of-the-box.<br>
<br>
Please note that if your data is time-dependent, currently the
only way to process it is to use the "Tecplot Files" ASCII reader,
because neither VisIt plugins can handle time series. Hopefully,
this issue will be fixed in the next release (Sebastien Jourdain
seems to be working on it).<br>
<br>
If your data does not depend upon time, Paraview should do the job
(I successfully used all of the 3 readers). If you get an error,
as Richard suggested, you may try to clean up the headers or use a
more recent version of Tecplot (2011 and 2012 work for me).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hi Zhang.<br>
<br>
Just a last info: since my last mail, I have made some tests with
old binary Tecplot (.plt) files, and I discovered that some files
are readable, but some files are not readable and give the same
error message. In fact, it depends on the Tecplot version that has
built these files. So, if you have problems with old (.plt) files,
you may try to convert them into a recent version of the (.plt)
format using a recent Tecplot release before reading them with
Paraview.<br>
<br>
Have a good week-end.<br>
<br>

tecplot(.plt) files</div>
</div>

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>
Richard<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>
Richard.<br>
