[Paraview] problems with structured grid file format

[David E DeMarle]

It sounds like the data file is corrupt, specifically paraview is
expecting there to be more point centered data values that it can read
from the file. Are there 41525 floating point values in the file after
the word "default"?

But we need more information to help.
*Which version of paraview are you using?
*What OS, and what machine type 32 or 64 bit?
*How was the file generated?
*Can you post the data file to the list?
*Can a simple vtk app read the data file?
