[Paraview] problems with vtu format

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Giovanni,

Based on a quick look at the file (with ParaView 3.4, OS X) it seems  
that all of the point coordinates that make up your cells are located  
at coordinate (0.16666667, 0.0, 0.2281278). So, you can only see  
anything if you change the representation to "Points", where you can  
see a single point. You can see that the data is in there if you do a  
"Cell Data to Point Data" filter and then glyph that with arrows. I'll  
attach a screenshot.

Hope this helps,
-Eric
