[Paraview] vtu file format

[Thierry Dubuis]

Hello,

I made the test and it's the same thing in Little and Big Endian.
I made another test, in Little Endian I add the size of the data block 
at the beginnig of this block In the PointData and CellData
Paraview load my case and the results are Ok.

Is it the same organization in the Coordinates, Connectivity, Offset and 
Types Blocks ?

Bests regards,
Thierry Dubuis
