<div dir="ltr">The Plot3D reader in 4.0 can read 32 bit and 64 bit Overflow files. Here are the messages I sent to the Overflow mailing list a while ago:<div><br></div><div>Hi folks,<div><br></div><div>I am happy to report that there is now a robust Plot3D / <span class="">Overflow</span> reader in ParaView that does automatic format detection for binary files. I am sorry that it took this long. It was not the easiest reader to write. It works with:</div>
<div><br></div><div>- <span class="">Overflow</span> files (any number of Q variables)</div><div>- Single and double precision real values</div><div>- C and Fortran output</div><div>- Big and little endian files</div><div>
- ASCII and binary files</div><div>- Q file series for unsteady flows</div><div><br></div><div>I also developed a simple meta file format that supports xyz file series as well as actual time values for each Q file (which is currently not supported without the meta file - this is needed for accurate particle advection). I am going to provide some documentation about this in the ParaView Wiki soon.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can test this out by downloading the development binaries:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Mac:</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

Please give it a try and let me know if you run into issues. If you would like to wait for a stable release, ParaView 4.0 is scheduled to be released early in May.</div></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

I am happy to announce that ParaView now supports function files. There is now support for pretty much the entire original Plot3D spec as well as <span class="">Overflow</span>. Some of the new features are:<div><br></div>
<div><div class="im">- <span class="">Overflow</span> files (any number of Q variables)</div><div>- Function files (any number of functions)</div><div class="im"><div>- Single and double precision real values</div><div>- C and Fortran output</div>
<div>- Big and little endian files</div><div>- ASCII and binary files</div></div><div>- XYZ and/or Q file series for unsteady flows and changing geometry</div></div><div>- More robust iblank support</div><div><br></div><div>
XYZ file series require the use of a meta-file (p3d extension) as described here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkPlot3DMetaReader.html#details" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkPlot3DMetaReader.html#details</a><br>

Is there a generally available reader for NASA's OVERFLOW CFD code?<br>
A plugin perhaps?<br>
