[Paraview] Tecplot reading error

[Gardner, William Payton]

So I need to figure out how to add this case to the existing readers it seems.  Taking out the comments is no big deal.

Cheers,
Payton

So I checked both the VTK tecplot reader and the VisIt tecplot reader with the file and both failed for the following reasons:

Neither support the ZONETYPE of FEBRICK, While both of them support the BRICK format it seems that FEBRICK and BRICK are not the same and this new case would need to be added.

Neither of the readers properly handle comments inside a tecplot file, which this file contains.

I've attached a tecplot finite element ascii file (wellosm.tec) I'm trying to read into Paraview.  When I read it in I get the following errors...

And it goes on to list every field in the data file.  My thought is that it's something in the header.  Here's a copy of the header for a quick glance:

TITLE = "Well mean age problem                                       "
TITLE = "December 13, 2005                                           "
VARIABLES = "X", "Y", "Z", "Zone","Head","Mean age"
ZONE  T=" 1.0000000000E+20", DATAPACKING=BLOCK, N=    243, E=    128, ZONETYPE=FEBRICK, VARLOCATION=([      4]=CELLCENTERED)

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Payton
