[Paraview] Tecplot reader error

Zhanping,

This method will not allow you to use any of the time-dependent filters,
right (like FFT)?

Fred:

   The problem was actually caused by "STRANDID=0, SOLUTIONTIME=0".
Currently the Tecplot reader, a simplified version, does not support loading
time series data. If you really want load multiple time steps of data, you
need to remove these two tokens from the zone header(s). And you need put
each time step as an individual file, e.g., file000.tec, file001.tec, ...
and et al. Then you can select all of them by means of 'file*.tec' when
opening the file dialog. In this way, you will still be able to view the
dataset at multiple steps.

   Sorry for the lack of time series data support and we are considering if
we need to add it.

  Thanks.

I am not a tecplot file format specialist but I need to read such files
provided by other people.
The header of my file is as follow:

 DATAPACKING=BLOCK

 AUXDATA CGNS.CGNSBase_t="Base#1"
 AUXDATA CGNS.Zone_t="domain1"

I get this errors:

So it seems that the line "DATAPACKING=BLOCK" raises problem.
Any help?
