Hi Peter:
The format of your geometry files (e.g., example0001.geo) is invalid.
Please go to pp.489 (the lower section), EnSight Manual v8.2 (
http://vis.lbl.gov/NERSC/Software/ensight/docs82/UserManual.pdf) to find the
valid format for ASCII-based geometry files. Simply put, the part index
needs to be provided in a geometry file (e.g., example0001.geo), as
indicated in pp.490 (the upper section), which is registered via
vtkEnSightGoldReader::ReadGeometryFile(const char* fileName, int
timeStep, vtkMultiBlockDataSet
*output), specifically by
vtkEnSightGoldReader::CreateUnstructuredGridOutput(int partId, charline[256],
const char* name, vtkMultiBlockDataSet *compositeOutput). This part-index is
later accessed in vtkEnSightGoldReader::ReadScalarsPerElement(const char*
fileName, const char* description, int timeStep, vtkMultiBlockDataSet
*compositeOutput, int numberOfComponents, int component).
Please note that the EnSight Manual also mandates that coordinates be
listed one value per line in an ASCII-based geometry file (e.g.,
example0001.geo) and it is also the case with scalar values (e.g.,
example0001.temp, and example0001.o2). Also note that "part 1" is invalid
and the two words need to be placed in two separate lines.
Please double-check all of your files, make them compliant with valid
EnSight file formats, and upload the resulting files to Mantis in case you
still encounter any problems.
Thanks.
