Thanks for the reply Sam. I made a typo in my original question - I did have the off-diagonal components labeled as you suggested. I tried swapping x and z in the last off-diagonal term to see if that would make a difference - to no avail. Interestingly,
ParaView does seem to interpret the variable as a tensor, as indicated in ParaView re-ordering the components from how they are written to the database. e.g. ParaView lists them as _xx, _xy, _xz, _yy, _yz, _zz but they are written to the database as _xx,
_yy, _zz, _xy, _yz, _xz (or _zx) - as shown in attached screen shots.

</div>
<div>I seem to recall opening ExodusII files with tensors displayed in a “collapsed" fashion - with the magnitude being the default view, just as Displacement in the attached screen shots. Any further advice to reproduce this behavior is much appreciated!</div>

Tribal knowledge leads me to suggest trying<br>
<br>
var_xy, var_yz, var_zx <br>
<br>
for the off-diagonal terms.<br>
<br>
(I can't recall for sure but the last entry may be var_xz)<br>

<div>When writing a symmetric tensor to an ExodusII database, the following link indicates that ParaView will interpret the variable as a symmetric tensor if it is written to the file as var_xx, var_yy, var_zz, var_xy, var_xz, var_yz, where var is the variable

<div>However, when I write symmetric tensors to the database with the above convention, ParaView interprets them as 6 independent scalars. Is there a more updated method of naming symmetric tensors in ExodusII database files so that ParaView will interpret
them correctly?</div>
