[Paraview] Re: ParaView digest, Vol 1 #104 - 2 msgs

[Ulfar Mani Fridjonsson]

Hello Nicholas,

There are two different standarts for the PLOT3D format. The first one is
that readable by the vtkPLOT3DReader. This format includes, as defined in
the standart,  a well defined set of variables. The other PLOT3D format
consist of three files instead of two. These files are  *.xyz(grid)
*.nam(non-standart function names) and *.q file containing the solution
file. It's my experience that the vtkPLOT3DReader can't read files of the
second type.

mvh. Ulfar Fridjonsson
