[Paraview] Cannot read LS-dyna *.k file

[LOW LEE LEONG, VE/CAE]

Hi David,
        Thank you for prompt reply. 
Yes I could open *.k if the folder contains all the output files. 
Actually I try to visualize a hypermesh data. I thought if I could write
out the 2-D element in *.key format, then I could use Paraview to
visualize it. However, it seems that I would need LS-dyna output to do
the visualization.  It is a bad news for me as my model is a STAR-CD
model. I thought I could combine the mesh element in *.key and Ensight
(result data write from Star-CD) to get a good visualization of my CFD
analysis.
	 Again, thank you for the help. Appreciate!

Lee Leong

The LS-Dyna reader cannot read anything but part names from the input
deck (the *.k file). The reader requires you to have the output files
(named d3plot, d3plot01, etc.) in the same directory as the input deck
(the ".k" file). Are the output files present as well as the input
files?

If the output files are present, can you share them? If you can, please
submit a bug report at
  http://www.paraview.org/Bug/index.php
and attach a tar file of the files to the bug report. Without them or
some more debugging information, I do not have enough information to fix
the problem.

	David
