Look at
http://www . nas . nasa . gov/FAST/RND-93-010 . walatka-clucas/htmldocs/chp_21 . formats . html
and
http://www . grc . nasa . gov/WWW/wind/valid/plot3d . html

ParaView should be able to read all PLOT3D files described in
these sites (except unstructured, ParaView does not read unstructured
PLOT3D files). Make sure that you have all the reader options
set correctly. If you do not specify the right settings in the
reader, ParaView won't be able to read the file.
I recommend using binary PLOT3D files since the error checking
is much more robust in that case.
