[Paraview] outputs translation problem

[Berk Geveci]

Depending on the data type, there are a few formats you can use:

1. Plot3D for curvilinear grids. ASCII or binary. Not great if running
in parallel
2. EnSight for all types. Not great if running in parallel
3. Legacy VTK (see VTK web site for the format). Not great in parallel
4. New (XML based) VTK (see VTK web site). Works in parallel

It is possible to write a small vtk script to do the conversion.
However, it would probably be more efficient to write a Fortran or
C/C++ program to do the conversion.
