<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>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>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 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>Overflow</span>. Some of the new features are:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>- <span>Overflow</span> files (any number of Q variables)</div>
<div>- Function files (any number of functions)</div>
<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>
<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>

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